About 35122: Ruptured abdominal artery direct repair

Reports open direct repair of a ruptured abdominal artery, with the aorta and splenic artery distinguished by their separate site-specific codes.

This code represents operative direct repair of a ruptured artery in the abdomen. A vascular or general surgeon may perform the procedure in a hospital operating room, controlling hemorrhage and repairing the arterial defect. The abdominal site and rupture must match this code; aortic and splenic artery ruptures have separate codes in the same family.

Report it for the rupture repair, not for an unruptured arterial defect. The operative report should identify the vessel and site, document rupture, and describe the repair performed. 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 one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 indicates a bilateral procedure and is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation. Team surgery is not permitted.
