Hybrid Surgery in Israel

In such an operating room, heart and vascular surgeries can be performed with angiography or heart surgeries using invasive radiology methods. Specialists from various fields, including surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists, ultrasound diagnosticians, and other specialists work simultaneously here.

In the hybrid operating room, cardiac surgeries that previously had to be performed in two stages are conducted.

• standard carotid artery bypass surgery, followed by aortic coronary bypass surgery;
• complex heart catheterization surgeries with the possibility of urgent surgical intervention;
• neurovascular surgeries;
• treatment of aneurysms or aortic dissection using stent-graft placement in the ascending aorta and aortic arch;
• treatment of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms using an endovascular method through vascular access via the femoral and pelvic arteries;
• minimally invasive aortic valve replacement on a beating heart, without the use of a heart-lung machine, under the control of cardiac ultrasound and X-ray systems, in real-time, using one of two methods: transapical access through the chest or transfemoral access through the groin area.
