"Vascular surgeons have transitioned from performing exclusively “open” vascular surgery to the realm of endovascular and hybrid procedures.  This paradigm shift has required the vascular surgeon to learn new rules for selective catheterization, diagnostic angiography and component coding for endovascular interventions.

There has been a void in focused coding guidance resources for this complex world of vascular surgery.  I believe this new, comprehensive Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Coding Reference will be an invaluable reference tool for the vascular surgeon’s practice to correctly code these difficult “open” vascular and endovascular procedures."
