Bypass L Radial Art w Therm Resist, Perc, New Tech 7

This code describes a procedure where a new pathway is created to reroute blood flow around an obstruction in the left radial artery. This bypass is achieved using thermal resistance energy, a novel technology, and is performed through the skin without a large incision. The goal is to restore adequate blood supply to the distal extremity.

This code is used when a patient requires revascularization of the left radial artery due to severe stenosis or occlusion, and the bypass is performed using this specific thermal resistance energy technology. It applies to procedures where a percutaneous approach is feasible and chosen over open surgical techniques. This would typically be for patients with peripheral artery disease affecting the left radial artery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the use of "thermal resistance energy" and a "percutaneous approach" for the bypass.
• Verify that the bypass is specifically for the left radial artery and not another vessel.
• Confirm that the technology used aligns with "New Technology Group 7" as defined by PCS guidelines.
