About 34702: Ruptured aortic tube endograft repair
Emergency endovascular repair of a ruptured infrarenal aortic or iliac lesion using an aorto-aortic tube endograft, including associated imaging and access work.
This service treats a rupture involving the infrarenal aorta or iliac artery with an endovascular graft that runs from one aortic segment to another. Vascular surgeons typically perform it in a hospital operating room or endovascular suite as emergency treatment for a ruptured aneurysm or another ruptured lesion. The service includes associated radiological supervision and interpretation, endovascular access and closure, and treatment of related arterial injuries when needed.
Report this code when the operative documentation supports rupture and the aorto-aortic tube-graft configuration. The report should identify the ruptured lesion, treated anatomy, graft configuration, access and closure, and any associated arterial injury treatment. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not.
