Procedure: Revision of femoral to above knee popliteal artery PTFE graft distal anastomosis with interposition PTFE graft from distal aspect of graft to distal above knee popliteal artery. Thrombectomy of left fem-pop BPG.

Translation - Removed thrombus from distal end of existing fem-pop graft. Cut distal end of graft and replaced with new PTFE graft creating end to end anastomoses proximally to old graft and to popliteal artery more distal than original graft was placed.

Does 35876 encompass all of this or am I supposed to code a primary revascularization procedure in addition?
