title: [The economic solution for integrating radiology and surgery: hybrid OR].
abstract: Currently, interventional (angiographically-guided) therapies have become more and more important in cardiovascular medicine. Hybrid procedures in hybrid operating rooms (ORs) have now become major topics at national and international meetings. A few hospitals have already implemented the project "hybrid OR", in some institutions the system is still in the planning stage. The aim of our article is to present the hospital management point of view, and thus, to focus on the economic and logistic issues from planning through to implementation.
