Ask Dr. Z

I have a case where the provider attaches a Dacron graft to the carotid artery to use as a conduit to give me more length to deploy the two stents. Made an arteriotomy with an 11- blade scalpel in the carotid artery. I then shaped the end of the Dacron graft appropriately and did an end-to-side anastomosis using 5-0 Prolene. After the TCAR was performed and the flow reversal system was disconnected - the conduit was then controlled at the arterial anastomosis and transected the Dacron graft using 6-0 Prolene suture to oversew this graft. Would we use an unlisted code for the Dacron graft conduit or would this be considered bundled to the procedure? Thanks
