What 35571 covers

A vascular surgeon uses a vein graft to route blood from the popliteal artery around an obstructed segment to a tibial, peroneal, or other distal artery. The operation is used for lower-extremity arterial occlusive disease when revascularization to a distal target is needed, such as in a patient with limb-threatening ischemia. It is typically performed in a hospital operating room.

Report the bypass when the operative record supports a popliteal inflow artery, a distal arterial outflow target, and a vein-graft technique. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
