   Hybrid coronary revascularization is a common procedure that takes advantage of coronary stenting in combination with CABG. Hybrid coronary bypass is a relatively new procedure and alternative to traditional bypass surgery that is defined by the performance of coronary bypass surgery and coronary stenting of different areas of a patient's heart.

   Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) or hybrid coronary bypass is a relatively new type of heart surgery that provides an alternative to traditional coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI or PTCA) by combining the two into one operation.

   Frequently, it is performed along with coronary bypass surgery, occasionally alone. When performing TMR a qualified cardiac surgeon delivers a precise laser therapy (either with a Holmium:YAG laser or CO 2 ), directly to the target area(s) of the heart muscle.

5. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   PCI is an alternative to the invasive surgery coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, often referred to as "bypass surgery"), which bypasses narrowed arteries by grafting vessels from other locations in the body. Coronary angioplasty was first introduced in 1977 by Andreas Gruentzig in Switzerland. [4]

6. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a surgical treatment for coronary heart disease that is a less invasive method of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [1] MIDCAB gains surgical access to the heart with a smaller incision than other types of CABG.

7. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.
