About 34708: Ruptured iliac aneurysm endograft repair
Endovascularly repairs a ruptured iliac artery using an iliac-to-iliac endograft, with reporting distinguished from nonruptured and aortoiliac repairs.
This code represents endovascular repair of a ruptured iliac artery using an iliac-to-iliac tube endograft. A vascular surgeon typically performs the procedure in a hospital operating room or endovascular suite, guiding the graft through arterial access to exclude the rupture from circulation. The code is for an iliac repair configuration, rather than repair using an aortic endograft. The operative report should establish the rupture, the treated iliac artery, and the endograft configuration.
Report the rupture-specific code rather than its nonruptured sibling when the repair addresses a rupture. Required imaging and radiological supervision and interpretation for the repair are included. CMS assigns 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 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment may be allowed; team-surgery payment is not permitted.

Required radiological supervision and interpretation for the endovascular repair are included in 34708. The operative documentation should support the rupture and the iliac-to-iliac graft configuration.

Can 34708 be reported bilaterally?

How does CMS handle other procedures performed in the same session?
