Aneurysm Excision Follow-Up Question

Date: Apr 27, 2013

Question:

I would just to ask a follow-up question to question ID #4783. After the AV fistula aneurysm was excised, they didn't revise it anymore because the patient didn't need the dialysis access anymore. Do we still code that as revision even though the fistula wasn't revised? At the end of the case the fistula was nonfunctional or totally closed.
