Bypass R Fem Art w Fem Vn SFA Conduit, Perc, New Tech 9

This code describes a novel revascularization procedure for the right lower extremity. It involves creating a bypass graft from the right femoral artery to the superficial femoral artery using a conduit, with the unique aspect of routing this conduit through the femoral vein. The procedure is performed percutaneously, indicating a minimally invasive approach.

This code is used for patients requiring revascularization of the right superficial femoral artery due to severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) or occlusion, where traditional bypass routes are not feasible or desired. It specifically applies when a percutaneous approach is utilized and the conduit is tunneled through the femoral vein. This represents a new technology intervention for complex lower extremity revascularization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right femoral artery as the origin and the superficial femoral artery as the destination.
• Verify that the operative report explicitly states the conduit was routed "through the femoral vein" and the approach was "percutaneous."
• This code is for New Technology Group 9, so confirm the procedure aligns with the specific criteria for this designation.
