Article Synopsis
- Hybrid stage I palliation is a procedure used mainly for high-risk patients with single ventricle heart disease, serving various roles such as a starter treatment or a bridge to more complex surgeries or transplants.
- A survey sent to congenital heart centers in the U.S. and Canada revealed that about 45 out of 106 centers perform this type of palliation, with a majority using pulmonary artery bands and ductal stents for management.
- There is significant variation in the practices and indications for hybrid stage I palliation among centers, highlighting the need for multicenter studies to establish standardized protocols and improve patient outcomes.
