In the absence of a defined cost for a pDVA system, we explored scenarios for add-on payments beyond the current Medicare reimbursement for endovascular procedures. Physician reimbursement rates for endovascular procedures and amputations were determined based on applicable CPT procedure codes and added to ...
An understanding of the venous anatomy of the foot, including the named venous branches and the locations of the valves, has proven valuable in standardizing the procedure and decreasing the time for completion of the procedure. There is still much to be learned, but there is no question that those learning this technique today are better at it than I was with ...
The portable system employs anatomic mapping algorithms and electromagnetic tracking technology to provide high-definition, three-dimensional (3D) color visualization and guidance in real time during endovascular procedures. “The technology is similar to GPS, in that it uses coordinates derived from prior imaging to guide navigation,” explains Dr. ...
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has dramatically evolved over the past 2 decades—from relatively simple tubular endografts to extraordinarily complex branched endografts that allow endovascular coverage from the sinotubular junction through the iliac bifurcation. ...
