Guest: Elizabeth Stephens, MD, PhD and Jason Anderson, MD
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, MD

Overview:
Increasingly, collaboration between interventional cardiology and congenital cardiac surgeons has been used to optimize look after sufferers with congenital coronary heart illness. Multi-disciplinary care is vital, and “hybrid” procedures may be a part of that collaboration. Effective use of catheter-procedures may also help lower the variety of cardiac operations for a lot of sufferers and new applied sciences are regularly being developed on this area.

Topics Discussed:
• What are “hybrid procedures” in cardiac surgical procedure?
• What age and diagnoses of congenital coronary heart illness sufferers are candidates for hybrid procedures?
• I’ve heard of the center workforce method or emphasis of multi-disciplinary method at Mayo, what does that imply and is that vital for folks and sufferers to search for?
• Can you focus on the way you determine whether or not a surgical or catheter method is healthier?
• A current development is pulmonary circulation regulators – are you able to clarify what these are and the way they’ve been used?
