Flipped Gore Endograft Contralateral Limb for Iliac Aneurysm

Date: Jun 5, 2020

Question:

How would a flipped Gore endograft contralateral limb for iliac aneurysm be coded? It doesn't appear to meet the criteria for 34718 since it isn't a branched endograft; should it be 34707? "Coil embolization of the right internal iliac artery aneurysm with 12 mm Amplatzer plug and RUBI coils (5 mm pod, 4 mm x 20 coil, 3 mm pod) in internal iliac artery branches with interpretations. Common iliac-to-external iliac Gore endograft (16 x 23 x 10-flipped) with interpretations."
