What is hybrid coronary revascularization?
Hybrid coronary revascularization is defined as the planned combination of LIMA-to-LAD artery grafting and PCI of >1 non-LAD coronary arteries in patients with one or more of the following: limitations to traditional CABG, such as heavily calcified proximal aorta or poor target vessels for CABG (but amenable to PCI); lack of suitable graft conduits; unfavorable LAD artery for PCI (ie, excessive vessel tortuosity or chronic total occlusion).
