Meet Andrea…  One part of the beginning of the process-

Editor’s Note:

Over the past year or so, a Hybrid room as been under construction, here in West Texas.  Being very close to one of the cardiac operating rooms- during this process, the sounds of drilling and hammering mix in with Pink Floyd, Annie Lennox, some “ya-done-me-wrong” Texas love/beer songs- and just became another little bump in the road, during a distal anastamosis- or a mitral repair.

That was a lot of fun- let me tell ‘ya…

“HYBRID” sounds so alien and foreign.  As if it referred to some sort of experiment in cross species genetic mutations or breeding. In other words- another sequel to Jurassic Park…

What in actuality it truly is-

A unique team approach of heart surgeons and interventional cardiologists, sharing a common effort to cure heart disease, will enable complex cardiac interventions through minimally invasive treatments in this new hybrid OR setting.

The cardiac Hybrid OR brings together the best of cardiology and the best of cardiac surgery by providing a diagnostic and operative environment with the most advanced imaging technology and surgical robotics, including the DaVinci robot. Patients in this OR can receive treatments ranging from stents all the way to minimally invasive bypass surgery performed with the DaVinci robot.
