I am coding for the above. My quesion is, wouldn't the thrombectomies of the femoral arteries be inclusive to the bypass? According to CCI edits 35371 can be reported with mod -59, but I am hesitant to do so because I think a thrombectomy would be a necessary component for the outcome of the bypass 35654.
Any thoughts? (and do I have the right codes?)
