The financial impact of an endoluminal stenting procedure

This paper reports on a study that examined the financial impact of an endoluminal grafting procedure for an abdominal aortic aneurysm using the Mialhe Endoluminal Aortic Stentor. Clinical outcomes were not a focus of this study. The results of the study suggest that financial impacts of new clinical procedures can be understood and addressed through planning and greater liaison between clinicians, coding professionals and clinical costing staff.
