Introduction to Interventional Radiology Coding is geared towards the brand new interventional radiology coder or someone who is interested in the field.

This webinar begins with the basics of successfully choosing the correct catheter selection codes during complex diagnostic and interventional cases. It focuses on physician documentation, anatomy (normal and variant), vascular systems, vascular orders, vascular families, and selective vs. non-selective catheter placement.

This webinar covers cardiac and thoracic procedures including open as well as endovascular techniques. Some of the procedures covered include mediastinal, operative ablations, CABG, valves, lung-open and VATS, assist devices, structural heart, transplants, and repairs of the thoracic aorta.

This webinar covers procedures in the subspecialty area of neuroradiology. These are complex endovascular procedures that involve vascular imaging and intervention in the head, neck, and spine. Webinar discusses intracranial angioplasty, vasospasm therapy, embolization procedures, venous sampling, thrombolysis, and thrombectomy, as well as carotid, vertebral, and intracranial stenting. Some non-vascular interventions are also reviewed.
