Hybrid operating room represents nowadays an important tool in the management of a constantly increasing number of complex surgical procedures which necessitate appropriate settings in order to be performed safely. We herein present the peculiarities and applications of such a versatile operating environment which is capable of guaranteeing the best performances in terms of equipment and imaging tools respecting the standards of asepsis that a simple angiographic room could not offer. In particular, we focus on its relevance in the field of complex vascular pathology, and on the importance of setting an appropriate management process in order to make the most of its potentialities without sacrificing the not negligible costs connected to it.
