Bypass L Fem Art w Fem Vn Popl Conduit, Perc, New Tech 9

This code describes a minimally invasive procedure to create a new blood flow pathway around a blockage in the left femoral artery. A graft, or conduit, is inserted through the femoral vein and connected to bypass the diseased segment, re-establishing blood flow to the popliteal artery. This is a novel technique utilizing a percutaneous approach.

This code is used for percutaneous femoropopliteal bypass procedures on the left leg where the bypass graft is routed through the femoral vein. It is applicable in cases of severe left femoral artery occlusive disease, typically in patients who are not candidates for open surgery or as part of a clinical trial for this new technology.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the left femoral artery as the bypass origin and the popliteal artery as the destination.
• Verify the approach is explicitly documented as percutaneous and that the conduit is routed through the femoral vein.
• Confirm the "New Technology Group 9" designation is appropriate based on the specific device or technique used.
