Current Hybrid Interventions in Vascular Surgery: Merging Past and Present

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Interventional Cardiology
• Endovascular Techniques

Background:

• The aging US population is experiencing a rise in vascular disease prevalence.
• Endovascular techniques have dominated vascular disease management for three decades.
• Open surgical operations remain crucial for complex vascular conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To provide an updated review of hybrid interventions in vascular surgery.
• To discuss the application of hybrid approaches in specific vascular procedures.

Main Methods:

• Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding hybrid interventions.
• Focus on hybrid techniques for femoral endarterectomy and peripheral stenting.
• Examination of retrograde open mesenteric stenting procedures.

Main Results:

• Hybrid interventions offer a versatile approach to complex vascular disease.
• Specific techniques discussed demonstrate the utility of combining open and endovascular methods.
• These approaches address challenging anatomical or pathological scenarios.

Conclusions:

• Hybrid interventions represent a significant advancement in vascular surgery.
• They expand treatment options for complex femoral and mesenteric vascular diseases.
• Continued evolution of hybrid techniques is expected in vascular disease management.
