J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2017 Apr;58(2):264-269. doi: 10.23736/S0021-9509.16.09845-1. Epub 2017 Jan 3.

Abstract

The concept of hybrid room was defined as an optimized surgical theater, offering the best compromise between asepsis criteria from standard surgical rooms and high quality imaging equipment from fixed radiological suites. This review aimed at summarizing what vascular surgeons should expect from hybrid rooms in daily practice and in the near future.
