Interv Cardiol Clin. 2024 Jul;13(3):399-408. doi: 10.1016/j.iccl.2024.02.005. Epub 2024 Mar 23.

Abstract

Hybrid interventions in congenital heart disease (CHD) embody the inherent collaboration between congenital interventional cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery. Hybrid approaches to complex and common lesions provide the opportunity to circumvent the limitations of patient size, vascular access, severity of illness, and anatomy that would otherwise be prohibitive to surgical and percutaneous techniques alone. This review describes several important hybrid approaches to interventions in CHD.
