EVAR for aorto iliac embolic disease with limb ischemia and thrombus
Date: Feb 5, 2021
Question:
Recently our physicians have been placing a bifurcated endograft through a 12 French or greater sheath for aorto iliac embolic disease with limb ischemia and thrombus. Does this fall under aortic pathology for EVAR, or should we use an unlisted CPT? Question ID 4621 advised an unlisted CPT code but it is dated. What do you advise today?
