What 35907 covers
Code 35907 represents operative removal of an infected vascular graft located in the abdomen. A vascular surgeon typically performs the procedure when infection involving an implanted graft requires surgical excision. Select this code based on the graft’s abdominal location, rather than the access method or the specialty of the operating physician. The operative report should identify the infected graft, its location, and the excision performed.
This major surgery includes 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 other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
