For repair of a descending thoracic aneurysm use CPT codes 36140, 36200-36218 as appropriate. For repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm use CPT codes 36200, 36245-36248, and 36140 as appropriate.
What is the CPT code for stent removal? CCI edits include the code for the removal of the stent, CPT® code 52310, Cystourethroscopy, with removal of foreign body, calculus, or ureteral stent from urethra or bladder (separate procedure); simple and its counterpart CPT® code 52315 complicated into the insertion CPT® code 52332 Cystourethroscopy, with insertion.
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) This leaflet is to help answer some of the questions you may have about having an EVAR. It explains the benefits, risks and alternatives of the procedure as well as what you can expect when you come to hospital.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm, ruptured 3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I71. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Endovascular repair in the aortic or iliac arteries for acute rupture is reported using CPT codes 34702, 34704, 34706, or 34708.
Code 34712 may be reported with both the abdominal and thoracic aortic endovascular repair codes or separately. The new EVR codes include a comprehensive set of arterial exposure, repair, and conduit reporting options.
EVAR is used in the lower section of the abdominal aorta, just above the point where the femoral arteries branch off. FEVAR is used in the upper abdominal aorta where the renal arteries branch off to the kidneys.
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an important advance in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). EVAR is performed by inserting graft components that are folded and compressed within a delivery sheath through the lumen of an access vessel, usually the common femoral artery.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm, without rupture I71. 4 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I71. 4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Endovascular aneurysm repair involves inserting a graft within the aneurysm through small groin incisions using X-rays to guide the graft into place. The advantage of this type of repair is that there is no abdominal surgery.
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to manage abdominal aortic aneurysms. The aorta is the largest artery that carries blood from your heart to other parts of your body.
When the documentation shows that the catheter placement was only in the aorta, the non-selective catheter placement CPT code 36200 is coded. Once the catheter is placed into a selective artery, the non-selective code is removed and bundled in with the highest selected catheter placement.
Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a surgery used to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). For a patient with a thoracic aortic aneurysm (aneurysm in the chest area), the procedure is termed thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR).
Branched EVAR provides a solution when the target vessels arise from a segment of the aneurysmal aorta. A branched stent graft is deployed in a dilated aorta and, therefore, there is a gap created between the target vessels and stent graft, which requires bridging.
The procedure itself generally takes 2 to 3 hours. You will stay in the hospital 1 to 2 days.
My favorite topic in the whole wide world is endovascular aortic aneurysm (EVAR) repair procedures. Some of you may think I’m crazy, but back in 2005, I was invited to witness an EVAR with the cardiothoracic surgeon I worked for and an interventional radiologist.

1. Multiple surgical codes (34800-34806, 34825-34826, 34900) and radiological supervision and interpretation (S&I) codes (75952-75954) were deleted and replaced with new codes describing endovascular repair of the abdominal aorta and/or iliac arteries. The new codes are assigned not only for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, but also for treatment of pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, or traumatic disruption of the aorta or iliac arteries. Some existing codes were revised for 2018, as well.#N#Editor’s Note: See the “Code Descriptors” sidebar for full code descriptions.
There is a single code (+34713) for percutaneous access and closure of the femoral artery; however, it is assigned only when a large sheath (12 French or larger) is required for delivery of the endograft. It includes ultrasound guided vascular access (e.g., +76937), when performed, and placement of dual closure devices. This code may be reported once, per side. Do not use +34713 with 37221, 37223, 37236, or 37237 when treating atherosclerotic disease with a covered stent.
The conduit may be permanently attached, or it may be temporary. Codes for consideration are +34833, 34714, and +34716, which describe the establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass. Open exposure add-on codes are reported twice for bilateral open exposure.
Note: Although CPT® instructions indicate that extensive repair of an artery may be reported separately, the National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual, Chapter 5, says otherwise: “Repair and closure of a blood vessel utilized for vascular access during the performance of a procedure is an included component of that procedure. Repair of the blood vessel (e.g., CPT codes 35201-35286) should not be reported separately.”
