Stopping blood flow: Ligation of major artery
Ligation of Major Artery is a surgical procedure that involves tying off a major artery to stop blood flow. This may be necessary in cases where the artery is damaged or diseased and is causing bleeding or other complications. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making an incision in the skin to access the artery. The surgeon then carefully identifies the artery and ties it off using sutures or other materials. Once the artery is ligated, blood flow to the affected area is stopped, which can help to prevent further damage and promote healing. After the procedure, the patient will typically be monitored closely for any signs of complications, such as bleeding or infection. In some cases, additional procedures may be necessary to address any underlying conditions that contributed to the need for ligation of the artery.
