ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hybrid interventions have become a common option in the management for a variety of patients with congenital heart disease. In this review, we discuss the data that have driven decision making about hybrid interventions to date.METHODS:
The existing literature on various hybrid approaches was reviewed and summarized. In addition, the key tenants to creating a successful hybrid program within a congenital heart center are elucidated.RESULTS:
Hybrid strategies for single-ventricle patients, pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, branch pulmonary artery stenosis, and muscular ventricular septal defect closure have important benefits and limitations compared with traditional approaches.CONCLUSION:
A growing body of evidence supports the use of hybrid interventions in congenital heart disease. But important questions remain regarding improved survival and other long-term outcomes, such as neurocognition, that might impact widespread adoption as a primary treatment strategy.
