In-situ vein bypass femoral to tibioperoneal trunk

Date: Jan 8, 2018

Question:

My doctor states he is doing an in-situ femoral-distal popliteal bypass. He documents the end-to-side anastomosis at the tibial/peroneal trunk. In this case, would you consider the tibial/peroneal trunk as part of the popliteal (35583) or the posterior tibial, anterior tibial, peroneal (35585)?
