Hybrid stent placement for aneurysms is a procedure that combines traditional open surgery with minimally invasive endovascular techniques to treat complex aneurysms, typically in the aorta or other large vessels. The procedure often involves using a stent graft to repair the aneurysm from inside the blood vessel while open surgery is used to access and revascularize surrounding arteries.
This hybrid approach is particularly useful for patients with challenging aneurysms and offers improved recovery time and outcomes compared to traditional surgery alone.
