Question:

In the 2010 Vascular and endovascular book page 313, you recommend coding a venoplasty inside the AV graft with an open thrombectomy but not with an open revision and thrombectomy. Can you explain the rationale for allowing it with an open thrombectomy but not with an open revision/thrombectomy. Thanks
