What 34707 covers
A vascular surgeon typically performs this repair in a hospital operating room or endovascular suite, using arterial access, guidewires, and imaging to position a tube-shaped graft across a nonruptured iliac artery aneurysm. The graft routes blood through the treated segment and excludes the aneurysm from circulation. This code describes an iliac-to-iliac repair, not a repair that also reconstructs the aorta. Catheter work and imaging integral to the endovascular repair are included.
Select the code based on the treated anatomy and whether the aneurysm is ruptured; documentation should identify the iliac segments treated, the endograft deployed, and the nonruptured status. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery and co-surgeons may be paid; team surgery is not permitted.

How to choose
- 34708Iliac endograft repair
- The repair configuration is similar, but 34708 is for a ruptured iliac aneurysm; 34707 is for a nonruptured aneurysm.
- 34705Aortic endograft repair
- 34705 describes endograft repair involving the aorta and both iliac arteries. Choose 34707 for an iliac-to-iliac repair that does not reconstruct the aorta.
- 34717Iliac branch repair
- 34717 is for iliac repair using an iliac branch endoprosthesis. This code describes iliac-to-iliac endograft repair without that branch-device approach.
34707 billing questions
How does this differ from 34708?
This code is for nonruptured iliac-to-iliac endograft repair. Use 34708 for the corresponding repair when the iliac aneurysm is ruptured.
When is 34705 a better fit?
Use 34705 when the endograft repair reconstructs the aorta and both iliac arteries. This code is for an iliac-to-iliac repair without that aorto-bi-iliac configuration.
Are catheterization and imaging separately reported?
Catheter work and imaging integral to the endovascular repair are included. Do not separately report those integral services as though they were independent procedures.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral repair?
Yes. CMS treats this as a bilateral procedure when reported with modifier 50 and pays it at 150%.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. The repair also follows the standard multiple-procedure reduction when performed with other procedures in the same session.
