M25. 18 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 M25.
Open revision of the AV access to maintain patency, excise an aneurysm, or bypass a stenosis is reported by CPT code 36832 (revision, open, arteriovenous fistula; without thrombectomy, autogenous or nonautogenous).
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.
An acquired arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula) is a condition where there is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein. Normally, blood flows from arteries into capillaries and then into veins.
Should the fistula be coded as a persistent postoperative fistula or according to the site of the fistula? Answer: Assign codes T81. 83X-, Persistent postoperative fistula, and K63.

Managing anal fistulaSoaking in a warm bath 3 or 4 times a day.Wearing a pad over your anal area until healing is complete.Resuming normal activities only when you are cleared by your surgeon.Eating a diet high in fiber and drinking plenty of fluids.Using a stool softener or bulk laxative as needed.
James Cimino in 1966. The creation of a distal fistula is technically simple in creation. Distal patency rates at one year are approximately 50% to 80%. Consideration of lower blood flow rates achievable during dialysis at this distal site.
In the 2017 codeset, CPT has revamped the section of codes for reporting dialysis circuit procedures. Changes include the deletion of codes 36147-36148, 35471-35476 and the addition of codes 36901-36909. Terminology was also updated, specifically references to AV shunt were changed to AV dialysis circuit.
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.
CPT codes for Ultrasound guided diagnostic arterial puncture are CPT 36600 and CPT 76937.
Even for venoplasty of Pulmonary vein stenosis, we can use CPT code 37248 and 37249.

What is an angiogram, fistulogram or graftogram? This is a special x-ray that looks at the flow of blood through: • a blood vessel (angiogram) • a fistula (fistulogram) • a graft (graftogram)
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 ...
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.
Peripheral segment: The part of the dialysis circuit that begins with the arterial anastomosis and continues through the entire axillary vein or cephalic vein for a dial ysis circuit in the arm (whether the termination point of the peripheral segment is the end of the axillary vein or the cephalic vein will depend on the vein involved in the arteriovenous fistula or graft). For example, if the basilic vein is connected to an artery to form an arteriovenous fistula, the venous outflow will be the axillary artery. If you are a visual learner like me, check out this picture of the veins of the arm to help you visualize and understand all the anatomy of these vessels and how far the peripheral segment would extend: Picture of Arm Veins. In rare cases where the dialysis circuit is placed in the leg, the peripheral segment begins at the arterial anastomosis and continues through the entire common femoral vein: Picture of Leg Veins
Central segment: The part of the dialysis circuit that begins with the central veins (the subclavian and the innominate veins) and continues through the superior vena cava to the right atrium of the heart for a dialysis circuit in the arm.
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 claim submitted without a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code will be returned to the provider as an incomplete claim under Section 1833 (e) of the Social Security Act.
The ICD code I770 is used to code Arteriovenous fistula. An arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein. It may be congenital, surgically created for hemodialysis treatments, or acquired due to pathologic process, such as trauma or erosion of an arterial aneurysm.
