Cor Angio and Ultrasound Access with TAVR

Date: Jun 18, 2021

Question:

I perform TAVR, and occasionally we do coronary angiography as part of standard work-up at the same setting to avoid a separate visit for the patient. I am being told that both this and ultrasound access are bundled with the TAVR. Is this correct since we would most commonly do these as separate, distinct procedures?
