35876 Verses 35656

Date: Sep 8, 2023

Question:

Please explain when you would use 35876 over 35656. I have a provider that tunneled in a new graft PTFE into the old graft and did partial thrombectomy of distal old graft to make sure there is outflow. He did remove part of the old thrombosed PTFE graft also. Would this be 35656 since whole new PTFE tunneled graft inserted?
