Aneurysm in a bypass graft? How is this coded?

April 27, 2017

The surgeon repaired an aneurysm in a lower extremity bypass graft through an open approach. Is this coded with an aneurysm code?

Open repair of an aneurysm that occurs in a lower extremity bypass graft is coded as a bypass graft revision, using the appropriate open revision code (35876-35884).
