My Surgeon created a bypass graft using vein from the common iliac to the profunda artery. After completing the anastomoses, he then determined that since the patient did not have doppler signals in the foot after this bypass, he would harvest another piece of Saphenous and jump from the profunda to the Superficial femoral with another bypass.
Would this be a revision or just another bypass graft code ?
In addition, there is not specific code for a profunda/superficial femoral graft using vein ?? Would I use an unlisted ?

Appreciate any advice.
