Revascularization of a bypass graft

Date: Mar 1, 2012

Question:

I have a question that I hope you can help with.  Our surgeon did a bypass graft with cadaver vein about 2 years ago.  Last week he did an atherectomy in the graft (femoral to posterior tibial). Would I code the revascularization codes 37225 and 37229 for the atherectomies?

Thanks so much!!
