Hybrid coronary revascularization, or hybrid coronary bypass, is a type of heart surgery that provides an alternative to traditional coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention by combining the two into a single operation. It unites surgical bypass grafting with catheter-based stent placement in one session, which distinguishes it from minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass procedures that use smaller incisions but do not involve stenting.
