Vascular surgery
About 35372: Common femoral endarterectomy with profundaplasty
Open removal of obstructive plaque from the common femoral artery with profundaplasty, reported for lower-extremity arterial disease involving the profunda origin.
A vascular surgeon performs an open endarterectomy of the common femoral artery and enlarges the profunda femoris origin (profundaplasty) to improve blood flow in the leg. This operation is commonly used for significant atherosclerotic disease at the common femoral bifurcation, including plaque that compromises flow into the profunda. It is generally performed in a hospital operating room through a groin incision; a patch may be used to reconstruct the artery after plaque removal.
Report this code when the operative documentation supports common femoral endarterectomy with profundaplasty, rather than an endarterectomy limited to the femoral or profunda femoris artery. The note should identify the treated vessels, the plaque removal, and the profunda reconstruction. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35372 billing questions
How does this differ from 35371?
Use 35372 when the common femoral artery is treated with profundaplasty. Code 35371 describes a femoral or profunda femoris endarterectomy without that specified combination.
What documentation supports reporting 35372?
The operative report should identify common femoral plaque removal and reconstruction of the profunda femoris origin. A patch may be documented when used, but the key distinction is the profundaplasty.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral procedures?
CMS lists bilateral reporting with modifier 50 and payment at 150%. The record should support treatment of both sides.
Are related postoperative visits included?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
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.
