hybrid procedure
Combined surgical and interventional approach performed in a specialized operating room equipped with advanced imaging capabilities.
Full Definition
A hybrid procedure in cardiovascular surgery combines traditional open surgical techniques with minimally invasive catheter-based interventions, performed in a specially equipped hybrid operating room with advanced imaging capabilities. These procedures allow for simultaneous or staged treatment of complex cardiovascular conditions that may not be optimally addressed by either approach alone. Examples include hybrid coronary revascularization combining surgical and percutaneous techniques, or staged treatment of complex aortic pathology. The approach requires multidisciplinary collaboration between cardiac surgeons and interventional specialists.
Usage
Usage note: Specify which components are surgical versus interventional in documentation.
