Expanding the hybrid concept in congenital heart surgery.
Hybrid procedures in congenital heart surgery are evolving.

Others are still evolving along with newer technologies and advances in interventional cardiology. This review provides a snapshot at the current state of hybrid procedures in congenital heart surgery.
