Hybrid Coronary Revascularization vs Complete Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
11/24/2018
Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) has emerged as a potential alternative to surgery. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled trial to compare HCR with CABG interventions.
