Petticoat cook aorto-aortic tube graft with bilateral iliac VBX stents
Question:
Patient underwent TEVAR with coverage of the take-off for the left SCA using TX2 Cook endograft (33880) with Petticoat Cook graft in the perivisceral aorta to infrarenal aorta (tube graft) with bilateral iliac limbs using VBX stent grafts as follow: "Next, to treat the abdominal aorta, we advanced a Cook Petticoat Bare endograft and deployed it an aorto-aortic tube graft across the perivisceral aorta to the infrarenal aorta above the aortic bifurcation. This was done using a 36mm/36mm x 180 mm Petticoat Cook Bare endograft. Next, we advanced VBX stent graft 11 mm x 79 mm in bilateral common iliac arteries, which were deployed successfully with about 2 cm into the distal aorta. They were post-dilated with a 16 mm x 4 cm balloon for distal seal with excellent results." For the Petticoat and bilateral iliac stents, do we report 34705? Or 34701, 37236-50?
