Question:

Greetings, A pt had a aneurysmal vein segement of a AV fistula. the aneurysmal portion was bypassed with a graft. I coded this as a 36832. One month later the aneurysmal section is sill bothering the patient. The pt is taken to surgery and the aneurysmal section that was bypassed on the previous surgery is excised. Is this coded as 36832 or 35011? Thanks, Lesley
