The Conceptual Framework. The Conceptual Framework is a body of interrelated objectives and fundamentals that provides the FASB with a foundation for setting standards and concepts to use as tools for resolving accounting and reporting questions.
Other arterial nonselective codes include the following: â¢ 36100, Introduction of needle or intracatheter, carotid or vertebral artery, is access by a direct stick into a carotid or vertebral artery. â¢ 36120, Introduction of needle or intracatheter; retrograde brachial artery, is access into the brachial artery. In this case, the brachial, axial, subclavian, and innominate arteries are treated as one vessel. As long as the catheter does not leave one of those, it is considered nonselective. â¢ 36140, Introduction of needle or intracatheter; extremity artery, is access into any other extremity artery.
Requirements for Interventional Echocardiographers. Increase in transcatheter structural heart procedures is driving demand for ultrasound, TEE experts in the cath lab. Transesophageal echo (TEE) has become an essential part of the new transcatheter structrual heart therapies, giving rise to a new sub-speciality of interventional echocardiography. The latest generation of 3-D/4-D TEE enables highly detailed surgical views of the soft tissue of the cardiac anatomy, allowing easier guidance of catheters and delivery of devices.
