Wiki Bypass of vein

[lisigirl]

My surgeons don't often do this so I'm having trouble finding a code for this and worry it's unlisted. Anyone have some ideas for me? I appreciate the help!

Bypass of subclavian vein to right internal jugular vein using 6-mm PTFE graft.

I'm use to coding bypass grafts of the arteries, not the veins, that's what has me confused.

Thanks!

Have you looked at 35261.

Yes but this wasn't a repair, it was an actual bypass. I ended up using the unlisted code 37799. thanks though!
