<p>L’intervention hybride est parfois réalisée à la place de la procédure de Norwood. Elle est réalisée par un chirurgien cardiaque et un cardiologue interventionnel.</p>
<p> On utilise l’intervention hybride chez certains patients à la place de <a href="/Article?contentid=1660&language=French">l’opération de Norwood</a>; elle limite la quantité de sang qui circule vers les poumons. </p>
<h2> À retenir </h2> <ul><li> Elle implique la participation d’un chirurgien cardiaque et d’un cardiologue interventionnel.</li> <li> Après cette intervention, un bébé subira une nouvelle intervention lorsqu’il sera âgé de quatre à six mois, laquelle consistera en une association de la procédure de Norwood et d’une anastomose cavo-pulmonaire. </li></ul>

<p> The hybrid procedure is used in some patients instead of the <a href="/Article?contentid=1660&language=English">Norwood operation</a> and limits the amount of blood that flows to the lungs. </p>

<p>The hybrid procedure is performed in the catheterization laboratory, but involves a cardiac surgeon and an interventional cardiologist. </p> <p>The surgeon places bands on the pulmonary arteries using a surgical incision. This limits the amount of blood which flows to the lungs. The interventionalist then places a metal tube called a stent in the ductus arteriosus so that it remains open to supply blood to the body. </p> <p>The baby can often be discharged within a few weeks of this procedure, although careful follow-up is required. The baby will then undergo a combination of the Norwood procedure and cavopulmonary anastomosis at 4 to 6 months of age.</p> <h2>Risks of the hybrid procedure</h2> <p>Complications of this procedure may include bleeding, infection, and too much or too little blood flow to the lungs. Some babies also have feeding difficulties during their recovery.</p>
