Abstract
Hybrid pediatric cardiac surgery is an emerging field that combines skills and techniques used by pediatric cardiac surgeons and interventional pediatric cardiologists. This article describes the emerging indications and techniques in hybrid pediatric cardiac surgery and discusses potential future applications. It focuses on peratrial and perventricular septal defect closure, intraoperative stenting, hybrid stage I palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and percutaneous valve implantation.
