Background Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an established alternative to open surgery for the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It is commonly understood that the anatomic complexity of an aneurysm impacts the technical difficulty of repair. Yet, little research has been done ...
January 29, 2025—Bentley InnoMed GmbH announced the launch of the BeGraft stent graft system, an on-label bridging device for fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) procedures, and the BeFlared stent graft system, a dedicated bridging stent indicated for FEVAR procedures. ...
ENDOVASCULAR REPAIR Branched (bifurcated) endografts to repair iliac artery disease have been approved by the FDA, and the procedures to implant the devices are now sufficiently described in the literature to warrant category I CPT codes. The category III code that has previously described this ser...
This study compares recent open and endovascular repairs of iliac aneurysms at a single institution.MethodsPatients were identified and charts reviewed using ICD-9 and CPT codes for iliac artery aneurysm and open or endovascular repair performed between January 2000 and January 2006. Baseline ...

These data were exported in comma separated value format, deidentified, structured by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes relevant to acute care surgery, and substratified by fellow and/or fellow year. RESULTS: Fifteen report types were created consisting of operative experience by service, ...
Using aneurysmal disease as a nonocclusive disease example, the codes used to report aneurysm repair in the infra-aortic arteries (37236, 37237, 34900/75954) include the work of stent placement and any angioplasty performed before, during, or after stent placement within the target treatment zone...
For a patient undergoing endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with an endovascular prosthesis that covers the left subclavian artery and a subclavian-to-carotid transposition procedure, the following codes would be reported using component coding: 34812 Open femoral artery exposure,...
