ABSTRACT
If we think about plug-in hybrids, the treatment of paravalvular leaks in cardiac surgery may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, there appears to be an attractive analogy between the plug in hybrid car and an interventional device that may be "plugged in" intra-operatively to treat a paravalvular leak. Both technologies provide additional degrees of freedom to the fields, combine different technologies but may also be criticized for their increase in cost, introduction of new problems and their questionable practical need. We address this analogy based on a case series presented in this issue of the Journal of Cardiac Surgery.
