Vascular Surgery (Independent) · ACGME specialty 450.
Capnolog counts these live for anesthesiology and neurological surgery; other specialties are reference only.
What counts toward a minimum?
- Fellows log each case against its CPT procedure codes, and the ACGME sorts those codes into the categories below.
- Every number is a count in one column, “Total (roles not split)”.
- 5 rows are drawn from a larger row: those cases count toward that row too, never on top of it.
- The Review Committee for Surgery sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Case Log categories and minimum numbers, June 2022
- Program Requirements, July 1, 2026
Capnolog is independent of the ACGME. Where a number here and the ACGME's own document disagree, the document is right.
