Hybrid Procedures Collaboration with Interventional Cardiology

22 minutes

Guest: Jason Anderson, M.D.

Guest: Elizabeth Stephens, M.D., Ph.D.

Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.

Increasingly, collaboration between interventional cardiology and congenital cardiac surgeons has been used to optimize care for patients with congenital heart disease. Multi-disciplinary care is key, and “hybrid” procedures can be part of that collaboration. Effective use of catheter-procedures can help decrease the number of cardiac operations for many patients and new technologies are continually being developed in this space.

Topics Discussed:

What are “hybrid procedures” in cardiac surgery?

What age and diagnoses of congenital heart disease patients are candidates for hybrid procedures?

I’ve heard of the heart team approach or emphasis of multi-disciplinary approach at Mayo, what does that mean and is that important for parents and patients to look for?

Can you discuss how you decide whether a surgical or catheter approach is better?

A recent advancement is pulmonary flow regulators – can you explain what those are and how they have been used?
