Endoleak repair with Viabahn Stents

Date: Feb 24, 2021

Question:

"There was a saccular aneurysm at the distal anastomosis of the patient's previous aortic graft just prior to the bifurcation. Two 8 x 59 covered stents were placed in the distal abdominal aorta instilled into the iliacs. Two additional 8 x 59 covered iliac stents were placed more distal for proper coverage and molded to form a new conduit within abdominal aorta." Are we able to use 34710 and 34711 x 2, or would this be 37236 and 37237?
