Abstract:
Hybrid procedures in congenital heart surgery are evolving. Some have matured, such as the hybrid stage I, and require closer large-scale scrutiny before they can be integrated into mainstream pediatric cardiac surgery. Others are still evolving along with newer technologies and advances in interventional cardiology. This review provides a snapshot at the current state of hybrid procedures in congenital heart surgery.
