Hybrid thoracic aortic repair is a procedure that combines open surgery and endovascular techniques to treat complex conditions affecting the thoracic aorta, such as aneurysms or dissections. The procedure may involve open surgery to access the aorta and endovascular stenting or grafting to repair the aorta from within. This approach is used when traditional surgery is not suitable or when a less invasive approach is desired for high-risk patients.
Hybrid thoracic aortic repair offers a safer, more effective solution for complex aortic diseases, improving recovery times and reducing complications.
