Hybrid coronary revascularization: the Emory experience

Abstract

This article reviews the Emory University Experience with hybrid coronary revascularization and identifies key factors essential for the success of this relatively new and evolving strategy for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Key decisional and technical factors were identified. In addition, careful patient selection, stepwise progression in learning the different aspects of the procedure, and close collaboration between cardiac surgery-interventional cardiology are key factors for success
