Description
Join us for an expedition through the peripheral vascular system as we explore various vascular procedures performed in the OR setting. With a focus on arterial bypass, arteriovenous fistulas, and endarterectomies, we walk through relative anatomy, surgeries, and CPT coding guidelines. We complete our journey by coding operative reports.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between a naturally occurring and surgically created arteriovenous fistula
- Examine the anatomy of various types of arterial bypass
- Decipher coding guidelines for reporting arterial bypass procedures
- Assign CPT codes for carotid endarterectomy
