Our new hybrid operating room allows Adena Heart and Vascular to perform structural heart and complex cardiovascular cases with a multidisciplinary approach involving anesthesia, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, interventional, and invasive cardiology. Such hybrid procedures include trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), endovascular thoracic (TEVAR) or abdominal (EVAR) complex coronary cases requiring hemodynamic support.
