Percutaneous venousbypass of AV graft

Date: Dec 23, 2022

Question:

Would this be unlisted, or how would you code this? "Access to graft and right femoral. An 8 x 100 mm Gore Viabahn self-expanding covered stent was deployed from the patent lumen of the graft, across the occluded segment of the graft, across the extravascular track between the graft and the adjacent brachial vein, and into the axillary vein. The covered stent was post-dilated to 8 mm. Contrast was injected for completion access angiography of the dialysis circuit and central veins, demonstrating satisfactory bypass of the occluded graft and extravascular track between the graft and adjacent brachial vein without obstruction to antegrade flow."
