Abstract

The hybrid strategy allows for a complete myocardial revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and a high frailty index. These patients, due to their old age and multi-comorbidities, are evaluated with inadequate tools for their clinical complexity and destined to an incomplete revascularization for increased surgical or procedural risk. Hybrid revascularization enables to use the best techniques resulting from the surgical and percutaneous approach defining a tailored strategy for the patient. In the frail patient, this strategy is associated with favorable outcomes and a lower exposure to periprocedural complications.
