Hybrid Coronary Revascularization

Hybrid Coronary Revascularization

Access to the Most Advanced Treatments

Coronary artery disease is common. It increases your risk of heart attack. If you have this condition, you need expert medical treatment.

Hybrid coronary revascularization is an advanced treatment for coronary artery disease. It’s minimally invasive, so you don’t need open heart surgery. Emory Heart & Vascular is one of the few centers offering this procedure.

Hybrid Coronary Revascularization

Hybrid coronary revascularization combines coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This is a “best of both worlds” procedure.

Our surgeons use robotic-assisted techniques to complete this surgery. Instead of opening your chest, we make small incisions between your ribs. Then, we use ultrasound guidance and small tools to place a stent between your left main artery and left circumflex artery.

Benefits of Hybrid Coronary Revascularization

Hybrid coronary revascularization offers several benefits to patients, including:

  • Faster recovery (two to three weeks versus two months)
  • Fewer complications
  • Shorter hospital stay (three to four days)
  • Shorter procedure time
Coronary artery disease narrows your major blood vessels and makes it harder for them to carry blood, oxygen and nutrients to your heart.

Why Choose Emory Healthcare

Emory Heart & Vascular is one of the few centers nationwide offering hybrid coronary revascularization. Our cardiovascular specialists are leaders in performing this advanced, minimally invasive “off-pump” procedure. With this — and other new, innovative treatments — we help patients avoid open-heart surgery.
