PURPOSE To promote consistency between utilization management reviewers by providing the criteria that determines the medical necessity. BACKGROUND Definitions: A. Cyanoacrylate adhesive closure of symptomatic varicose veins is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a specially formulated medical adhesive (glue) that is injected into the vein using the VenaSeal™ closure system. The cyanoacrylate adhesive permanently closes the diseased vein. B. Duplex ultrasonography/Doppler ultrasound are two imaging modalities done sequentially to outline anatomical structure of blood vessels(duplex) and to detect flow, direction of flow and flow velocity of the blood through vessels.

  • Imagingadvances
    ImagingAdvances VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 Spring 2013 New Facility Supports More In-Office Procedures by VIVA’s Highly Trained Vascular Surgeons Local Physicians Consult with RAF When Imaging is Vital to Patient Care Diagnostic radiologists are best known for their behind-the-scenes interpretation of medical imaging test results. Yet their collaboration with other medical specialists is equally critical to patient care. David L. Glasser, MD, president of Radiologic Associates of Fredericksburg (RAF), said he and the practice’s other board-certified, fellowship-trained diagnostic radiologists spend a significant part of each day discussing cases and medical imaging tests with patients’ physicians. Typical cases include: • Answering an orthopedic surgeon’s questions about a patient’s imaging tests before surgery to repair a torn meniscus. • Showing an oncologist how a patient’s lymph nodes and tumors are responding to cancer treatment. Dr. D’Addio (right) views real-time medical images to guide a vascular surgery procedure at VIVA. He is assisted by Medical Assistant Stephanie Finley. • Discussing test findings with a patient’s primary care physician When local vascular surgeon Victor J. D’Addio, MD, announced he was joining Radiologic to aid in a diagnosis. Associates of Fredericksburg (RAF) in 2009, some of his patients and medical colleagues Diagnostic Radiology continued page 3 were perplexed. Was Dr. D’Addio switching medical specialties? The answer was “no.” Dr. D’Addio moved his vascular surgery practice to RAF’s interventional radiology and vascular program, Virginia Interventional & Vascular Associates (VIVA), because the two specialties complement each other. In fact, several other radiology groups with interventional radiology sub-specialists in the United States have vascular surgeons as part of their staff.

  • Ambulatory Phlebectomy INFORMED CONSENT
    Ambulatory Phlebectomy INFORMED CONSENT INTRODUCTION: Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a procedure used to remove varicose veins that are near the surface. This procedure is done under local anesthesia. This treatment is used to remove larger veins that are close to the surface. Small stab incisions are made in the skin and the veins are pulled out of these incisions with a small hook. There will be many small incisions in the skin. These will incisions will leave small scars. The incisions may be left open, closed with small pieces of tape or occasionally sutured closed. Occasionally a slightly larger incision will be needed to remove larger veins or in the presence of scar tissue making the dissection more tedious. The pain is usually minor and little scarring is anticipated. A relatively short recovery following the procedure can be expected. The veins being treated are generally removed in one treatment. Additional veins can develop in the areas treated but the vessels removed will not come back. PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION: On the day of your Ambulatory Phlebectomy procedure, staff at The re*be Skin Clinic will answer any last minute questions you might have, and prepare you for the procedure. The skin will be marked to show the location of the veins to be removed. These marks can remain visible on you skin for about 1 week rarely more than that. Hair in the treatment areas may be clipped and the skin will be cleansed. You will be positioned on a power procedure table. Medicated ointment may be applied to your skin to temporarily anesthetize the area being treated.
