Endovascular repair in the aortic or iliac arteries for acute rupture is reported using CPT codes 34702, 34704, 34706, or 34708.
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.
Code 34712 may be reported with both the abdominal and thoracic aortic endovascular repair codes or separately.
INTRODUCTION. 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.
The ICD-10-CM code to support AAA screening is Z13. 6 Encounter for screening for cardiovascular disorders [abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)].
Thoracic aortic aneurysm2 Thoracic aortic aneurysm, without rupture.
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.
CPT code description for 76706 This procedure is used to evaluate for the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by checking the flow of blood in the abdominal aorta.
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.
Vascular surgery and endovascular surgery are both modalities to treat vascular disease. Endovascular describes a minimally invasive approach commonly done through needle puncture and a sheath. Traditional vascular surgery is more invasive and involves incisions, which is more surgical in nature.
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).
Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Repair, also known as FEVAR, is a minimally invasive procedure that allows surgeons to repair the aorta through small incisions in your groin and or arms while still preserving blood flow to the critical branch arteries to your kidneys and other organs.
