- Abstract
Background: Demographic development leads to an increase in vascular interventions due to the increase in elderly and multimorbid patients. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the open interventional therapy options and their influence on staff and patients which have become possible due to the introduction of angio-hybrid operations including 3-D imaging Dyna-CT. Material and methods: The modifications with respect to radiation protection for staff, improvements for patients and the possibilities of operative 3-D imaging Dyna-CT are described based on the current literature. Results: The implementation of angio-hybrid operation theaters has resulted in new open interventional treatment options which can also be employed for high risk elderly patients with aortic and peripheral arterial pathologies. With hybrid operations the radiation exposure and contrast medium exposure can be reduced for patients and an improvement in the results can also be achieved. The implementation of 3-D imaging in the angio-hybrid operation theater could also lead to further improvements, especially for complex aortic procedures. Discussion: Using angio-hybrid operational procedures complex interventions can be carried out with more safety for patients and personnel. The implementation of 3-D imaging Dyna-CT offers additional interesting options for complex aortic procedures.
