Endovascular aneurysm repair
About 34705: Infrarenal aortic endograft repair, aorto-bi-iliac
Reports endovascular repair of a nonruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysm or dissection using an endograft that extends into both iliac arteries.
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.

34705 billing questions
When should 34705 be chosen over 34706?
Use 34705 for the aorto-bi-iliac endograft repair when the aortic condition is not ruptured. The corresponding rupture service is 34706.
Does 34705 include the imaging performed during graft placement?
Imaging integral to guiding and evaluating the endovascular repair is included. Do not separately report routine imaging that is part of the repair.
Can femoral access be reported separately?
A separately reportable access service may be appropriate when its requirements are met: 34713 describes percutaneous femoral access and closure, while 34714 describes open femoral artery exposure.
Should modifier 50 be appended for the two iliac limbs?
No. The aorto-bi-iliac configuration is already represented by the service, and the CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made, and co-surgeons are permitted. Team surgery is not permitted.
