About 34703: Aorto-uni-iliac endograft repair
Endovascularly repairs an infrarenal aortic aneurysm or dissection with an aorto-uni-iliac graft when the repair extends into one iliac artery.
This facility-based vascular procedure treats an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm or dissection by delivering an endograft through arterial access and configuring it from the aorta into one iliac artery. Vascular surgeons use this aorto-uni-iliac configuration when that is the selected graft arrangement for the patient’s anatomy and repair plan. The service includes associated imaging guidance and monitoring, nonselective catheterizations, and endograft placements, including extensions within the aorta and the one iliac artery.
Report 34703 for a nonruptured repair with this configuration; the operative report should establish the aortic condition and graft extent. Rupture changes the code selection to 34704. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this unilateral configuration. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon services may be paid; team surgery is not permitted.

34703 billing questions
How does 34703 differ from 34705?
34703 describes an aorto-uni-iliac graft extending into one iliac artery. 34705 is the bilateral-iliac configuration.
When should 34704 be used instead?
Use 34704 for the corresponding aorto-uni-iliac repair when the aneurysm or dissection is ruptured. The operative documentation should support rupture.
Are imaging guidance and catheterizations separately reported?
Associated imaging guidance and monitoring, nonselective catheterizations, and endograft placements within the included aortic and iliac extent are part of this service.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. This code describes the aorto-uni-iliac configuration, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What postoperative care falls within the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon services may be paid under the CMS rules for this code. Team surgery is not permitted.
