The role of transcatheter intervention for the treatment of vascular obstruction is well documented in the preoperative or remote postoperative settings. More recently, the roles of angioplasty and stent implantation have been advocated as intraoperative and immediate postoperative strategies. As one considers the inherent advantages in this cooperative approach to congenital heart disease, the development of a truly hybrid interventional suite seems imperative. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
