The procedure was performed at the Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, and involved open bypass surgery combined with minimally invasive endovascular stent grafting to seal the ruptured aorta and restore blood flow to vital organs, the statement by the hospital said.

The patient, a resident of Bihar, was diagnosed with a ruptured and massively dilated thoracic abdominal aorta - the main artery carrying blood from the heart to vital organs - a condition associated with extremely high mortality, it said.

It added that the patient's condition was initially misdiagnosed at multiple hospitals in Bihar as fluid accumulated in the chest, following which a chest tube was inserted, leading to further complications and worsening internal bleeding.

Over the next few months, his condition deteriorated sharply, with heart function dropping to nearly 15 per cent, forcing him to remain bedridden due to the risk of sudden fatal bleeding, it said.
