Eversion Endarterectomy

Date: Apr 14, 2021

Question:

I have not been able to find much information regarding “eversion” endarterectomy. Does an iliofemoral endarterectomy have to involve an abdominal and a lower extremity incision? And if just the external iliac and common femoral arteries are endarterectomized, is this enough to bill iliofemoral endarterectomy?
