35907

Date: Aug 7, 2014

Question:

In my research for excising an aorto-bifemoral graft, the only case I came across was one that was done on separate days of service. My question is, do I use code 35907 for the abdominal graft (they do incise the abdomen) and 35903-50 for the femoral grafts? Or do either of the codes include all of the graft? I am new to these vascular procedures.
