What Is Hybrid Vascular Surgery?
Hybrid vascular surgery is a modern approach designed to achieve the best results for complex vascular conditions, combining classic open surgery techniques with minimally invasive endovascular procedures. Using this method, our doctors specializing in cardiovascular surgery can select and apply the most effective techniques, thereby reducing recovery time and associated risks, so patients can return to their normal lives as quickly as possible with minimal discomfort.
At the VenArt Clinic, these operations are performed in an advanced medical facility equipped with the latest imaging technologies, enabling doctors to visualize vascular structures in real time. Each patient is guided by highly experienced specialists who take the time to explain every step of the process and provide reassurance that they are in expert hands.
Hybrid Carotid Artery Stenting
For patients with carotid artery stenosis, hybrid carotid artery stenting combines the benefits of carotid endarterectomy — a procedure that removes plaque buildup from the artery — with stent placement to maintain healthy blood flow.
This method is especially suitable for individuals who may not be ideal candidates for traditional surgery, providing a safer alternative without compromising effectiveness.
Following the procedure, patients receive close postoperative monitoring and care, allowing for faster recovery and a safe return to normal activities.
Hybrid Revascularization of the Lower Limbs
Hybrid revascularization is used to treat peripheral artery disease affecting the lower extremities. It combines open surgical bypass grafting with minimally invasive techniques such as endovascular angioplasty and stenting.
By restoring blood flow to the legs, this procedure improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to affected tissues, supporting proper function, promoting healing, and enhancing overall mobility.
Hybrid Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
This procedure is designed for the treatment of complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. It uses a staged approach, combining open surgical revascularization of vital arteries with the endovascular placement of stent grafts.
The hybrid method can reduce operative risks for certain patients compared to full open repair, while still providing durable protection against aneurysm rupture. Treatment decisions are based on individual anatomy, overall health, and disease severity.
Benefits of Hybrid Vascular Surgery
Hybrid vascular surgery offers numerous benefits for patients. These procedures not only shorten recovery time but also improve quality of life. Studies show that patients are able to return to their daily activities more quickly, which is essential for overall well-being.
Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, these techniques reduce trauma, resulting in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and lower complication rates compared to traditional surgical methods.
It is important to note that not all patients or vascular conditions are suitable candidates for hybrid procedures. Each decision to perform a hybrid vascular intervention is made on an individual basis, taking into account the patient’s overall health, the complexity of the disease, and, most importantly, the expertise of the physician. In this way, we ensure that you receive the highest standard of care, tailored to your specific needs.
