What 34705 covers

A vascular surgeon typically uses this service to exclude a nonruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm or dissection with an endograft spanning the aorta and extending into both iliac arteries. The repair is performed in an operating room or endovascular suite, with imaging used to guide graft deployment and assess the repair. The aorto-bi-iliac configuration distinguishes this service from a tube graft or a one-sided iliac configuration.

Report the code for the initial repair when the documented diagnosis and deployed graft configuration support it; a ruptured aorta is coded in the corresponding rupture service instead. The operative report should establish the treated anatomy, rupture status, graft configuration, deployment, and access approach. Associated imaging integral to guiding and evaluating the repair is included. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not.
