Vascular surgery
About 35583: In-situ femoral-popliteal vein bypass
Reports an in-situ autologous vein bypass from the femoral artery to the popliteal artery for lower-extremity arterial disease.
A vascular surgeon uses this procedure to bypass an obstructed or severely diseased artery in the leg, routing blood from the femoral artery to the popliteal artery through the patient’s vein left in its native position. The great saphenous vein is a typical conduit. The surgeon prepares the vein for arterial flow, including disrupting its valves and addressing side branches, and connects it to the arterial inflow and popliteal outflow. These bypasses are generally performed in a hospital operating room for limb ischemia or other significant lower-extremity arterial insufficiency.
Select this code when the operative report documents an in-situ vein conduit and a popliteal target; a bypass using a harvested, repositioned vein or a different conduit follows a different code pathway. Documentation should identify the conduit, bypass endpoints, and in-situ technique. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 payment for a bilateral procedure is 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
