Ligation of Side Branches

Date: Jun 1, 2020

Question:

I had to do a balloon angioplasty but also had to ligate side branches of her saphenous vein bypass graft. How do I bill for the ligation of those side branches (which was the main part of that procedure since it created an AV fistula and was stealing flow from the bypass graft)?
