For example, if a patient undergoes left carotid endarterectomy and then left to right carotid-carotid bypass with PTFE graft, both of these procedures would be coded. 03CN0ZZ, extirpation of matter from left external carotid artery, open approach, and 031J0JJ, bypass left common carotid artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach. These PCS codes are discussed in Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS, Fourth Quarter 2017, Page 64.
Most often, the endarterectomy is performed to help facilitate the anastomosis/bypass. If there is a separate objective documented for the endarterectomy then it would be appropriate to report in addition. If the endarterectomy is performed on a separate artery than the bypassed artery with a separate objective than to facilitate bypass it would be ...
In January, new CPT codes were released. There were 248 new CPT codes added, 71 deleted and 75 revised. Most of the surgery section changes were in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular subsections. These included procedures such as skin grafting, breast biopsies, deep drug delivery systems, tricuspid valve repairs, aortic grafts and repair of iliac artery.
In this part, the ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are presented. For FY2021 ICD-10-PCS there are 78,115 total codes (FY2020 total was 77,571); 556 new codes (734 new last year in FY2020)…

The endarterectomy is considered integral part of the bypass procedure. Most often, the endarterectomy is performed to help facilitate the anastomosis/bypass. If there is a separate objective documented for the endarterectomy, then it would be appropriate to report in addition.
The reference guideline below has been used to support not assigning a code for the patch graft if used to close the arteriotomy site. This is just part of the endarterectomy. The patch graft would not have been performed in and of itself nor was there a particular objective other than to close the site of the arteriotomy.B3.1b
