AV Fistula and Graft Procedures Part 1. CPT 36906 is the sixth code in the series and is used to report percutaneous procedures to remove blood clots plus a stent placement in the peripheral segment of the dialysis circuit. This code includes the work of CPT codes 36903 and 36904 combined.
Fluoroscopy of Dialysis Shunt/ Fistula ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K60.4 [convert to ICD-9-CM]
CPT 36901 is the first code in the series and is used to report a diagnostic fistulogram. T his procedure involves introducing a needle or catheter into the fistula/graft, injecting dye, and then obtaining images of the dialysis circuit.
I77.0ICD-10 code I77. 0 for Arteriovenous fistula, acquired is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
An AV fistula is a surgically placed "shunt"; that is, an artery is directly sutured to a vein. An artery is a high-pressure vessel that carries blood away from the heart and delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues.
AV fistula can be placed in upper arm or forearm, thigh or chest. So, the new CPT code 36901 is the main procedure code, used for taking access in AV fistula.
An AV fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, and is sometimes surgically created to help with haemodialysis treatment. In these cases, a shunt graft is inserted to aid the treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes the shunt will fail, known as graft malfunction.
What is an AV fistula? An AV fistula is a connection that's made between an artery and a vein for dialysis access. A surgical procedure, done in the operating room, is required to stitch together two vessels to create an AV fistula.
An arteriovenous (AV) fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein in which blood flows directly from an artery into a vein, bypassing some capillaries.
36832When an AV access graft or fistula is revised to maintain patency, excise an aneurysm, superficialize by any method to facilitate graft cannulation, or bypass a stenosis, CPT code 36832 (Revi- sion, open, arteriovenous fistula; without thrombectomy, au- togenous or nonautogenous) is reported.
Networker. AV fistulas created with vein transposition (36818-36820) require 2 separate incisions and may or may utilize tunneling. Direct anastomosis 36821 sometimes called Cimino uses only 1 incision and doesn't require tunneling or transposition.
Based on the documentation submitted with your request, the arteriovenous fistula was ligated and the aneurysmal area was near the anastomosis; therefore, it would be appropriate to report CPT code 37607, Ligation or banding of angioaccess arteriovenous fistula, for the procedure performed.
a fistula, which is made by joining together an artery and vein to make a bigger high-flow blood vessel. a graft, in which a soft plastic tube is placed between an artery and a vein, creating an artificial high-flow blood vessel.
Anastomosis: In an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), the point where a vein and an artery are connected. In an arteriovenous graft (AVG), the locations where the graft is connected to the patient's vein and artery.

Arterial anastomosis: In an arteriovenous fistula, this is the single anastomos is between the artery and the vein. In an arteriovenous graft, this is the anastomosis between the artery and ...
In an arteriovenous graft, this is the anastomosis between the artery and the one end of the graft attached to the artery. Dialysis circuit: A term used in CPT interchangeably to refer to an arteriovenous fistula or an arteriovenous graft.
A procedure performed “in/through” the dialysis circuit is any procedure (e.g., angioplasty, stent, etc.) performed by placing a needle (s) or catheter (s) into a structure that is part of the dialysis circuit.
