Key result
Hybrid interventional procedures combining surgical and transcatheter techniques provide a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery for treating complex congenital heart disease.
Highlights the evolution and application of collaborative hybrid interventional procedures for congenital heart disease.
May support hybrid approaches in select cases; leaves open need for prospective trials before practice change.
The evolution of congenital cardiac surgery has seen significant innovative advances in collaborative efforts between congenital cardiac surgeons and interventionalists to provide the least invasive intervention with the greatest hemodynamic benefit for patients with congenital heart disease. This review looks at how this collaborative approach has evolved and is being applied to treat a number of congenital conditions across the age ranges.
