Hybrid repair of aortic dissections is a procedure that combines traditional open surgery with endovascular techniques to treat aortic dissections. This approach is used to treat complex cases of aortic dissection where a combination of methods is needed to restore normal blood flow and repair the aorta. The procedure may involve open surgery to address certain areas of the aorta, while endovascular stents are used to repair other portions of the vessel.
Hybrid repair of aortic dissections offers several advantages, including a lower risk of complications, faster recovery times, and improved outcomes for high-risk patients.
