Vascular surgery
About 35536: Splenic-to-renal artery vein bypass
Reports surgical renal revascularization using a vein graft routed from the splenic artery to the renal artery, commonly for selected renal artery occlusive disease.
A vascular surgeon uses a vein graft to create an arterial route from the splenic artery to the renal artery. The operation may be considered for renal artery occlusive disease when the splenic artery is suitable as the source of blood flow. This is an open vascular reconstruction, not a splenic-vein-to-renal-vein shunt used to manage portal hypertension. The operative report should identify the arterial inflow and outflow, the vein conduit, and the bypass performed.
Report this code when the documented bypass connects the splenic and renal arteries using a vein graft; the chosen inflow and outflow distinguish it from other renal bypass configurations. 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 one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 applies to a bilateral procedure, paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35536 billing questions
How is this different from a splenorenal shunt?
This code describes an arterial bypass between the splenic and renal arteries using a vein graft. A splenorenal shunt connects veins and is a different operation.
When would 35560 be reported instead?
Use 35560 for an aorta-to-renal artery bypass. The inflow vessel, rather than the renal target, distinguishes it from this splenic-to-renal bypass.
What operative documentation supports this code?
Document the renal indication, splenic arterial inflow, renal arterial outflow, and use of a vein graft. The operative description should establish the completed bypass.
Are related postoperative visits separately included?
Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included, as is the day-before preoperative visit.
How are other procedures in the same session handled?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in the session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 applies to a bilateral procedure and is paid at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
