Hybrid aortic surgery

Hybrid Aortic Surgery or repair is a procedure that combines conventional open-chest surgery with stent placement (endovascular surgery). It is done to repair the aorta, the primary blood vessel that transports blood from your heart to your vital organs. Aortic aneurysms, enlargement of the aorta, and patients with severe complications due to other medical conditions benefit from this surgery. It is either done in conjunction with each other but can also be staged a few days apart.
