Iliac-Popliteal Bypass with Graft

Date: Dec 31, 2014

Question:

Our physician did an external iliac-popliteal bypass with graft. I am not seeing a CPT code for this procedure. Since the popliteal is included in the femoral family for percutaneous intervention, would it be correct to report code 35665, or should we use an unlisted code for this procedure?
