Current state of the art of hybrid coronary revascularization / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Hybrid coronary revascularization has been developing for more than 20 years since it was first proposed by Angelini in 1996. HCR combines the benefit of surgical anastomosis of the left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery graft along with stenting of non-LAD lesions with percutaneous coronary intervention, and achieves complete revascularization. In this review, we have summarized the current state of the art of HCR, including the history, conception, types, patient selection, perioperative antiplatelet strategies, surgical techniques, clinical results as compared with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting and PCI, and the future of HCR.
