Looking for some help regarding code for ligation of an accessory saphenous vein. Patient had an endovascular procedure with access through the right groin. The following day she developed a large hematoma and open exploration was done. A bleeding profounda femoris artery was repaired with sutures and a bleeding accessory greater saphenous vein was ligated.
I know the repair of the artery is 35226. Not sure if 37700 is correct for the accessory GSV. Would appreciate any opinions.
 
i would actually look at the 3580X series of codes since this is a post op complication and a repair was performed.
