Coding for aneurysm repair can be challenging, especially with new technology used during procedures. Join MedAxiom’s coding experts as they break down endovascular aneurysm repair and open approaches. Speakers will explore each approach and review specific add-on codes that may be used. The discussion will also address bundling issues and how coding should be applied through real-world case examples.

Specific topics include:
1. Abdominal aorta with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)/fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR).
2. Iliac aneurysm repair with iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE).
3. Descending aorta with TEVARs and thoracic branch endoprosthesis (TBE).
4. Open approaches to the ascending/descending abdominal and iliac repairs.
