1) Patient presents with 8cm AAA for endovascular treatment. Bilateral groin cutdowns are performed. Bilateral aortic access is achieved under fluoroscopic guidance. An excluder main endograft device is placed from the right side and deployed with fluoroscopic guidance. From the left sheath, the contralateral docking limb is deployed. Graft angioplasties at the proximal aspect and at the flow divider are performed. Follow-up angiography does not reveal any endoleak. :confused::confused:
 
These codes may fit -

34802 -No indication of an extension, only an docking limb.
75952
34812-50 for bilat cutdown

The description didn't talk about how the aorta was accessed, but usually we do aortic cath bilateral 36200-50.

Angioplasties and stents in the stent graft deployment zone are all included not reported separately.
