Bilateral Iliac Artery Aneurysm Stent Graft with Endurant with 34900 x 2

Date: Mar 12, 2013

Question:

Patient has bilateral common illiac aneurysms repair with Endurant stent graft with two extensions and embolization of the internal illiac with Amplater plug. Do I report this with codes 34802/75952-26 for the primary device or codes 34900/75954-26?  And do I report the embolization with codes 37204/75894-26 or 34808 all the other codes I have? I could not see any guide on the site already. I'm leaning as coding this the same way I would code the AAA repair.
