The common femoral artery (CFA) and brachial arteries are the most frequently used. A vascular family is a vessel that arises from the aorta or is off the access vessel, and includes all of that vessel’s branches. For example, the left subclavian artery and its many branches are considered as one vascular family off the aorta.
Coding tip: Limit the use of 36836 and 36837 to upper extremity procedures, such as those involving the brachial artery and basilic vein. Don’t miss: “Codes 36836 and 36837 include all vascular access, angiography, imaging guidance, and blood flow redirection or maturation techniques (e.g., transluminal balloon angioplasty, coil ...
Summary. The provider explores a previously operated area on the upper extremity to ascertain whether there is postoperative injury, clot, leaking blood vessels, or other abnormality in vessels such as the axillary, brachial, radial, or ulnar arteries.
The provider surgically removes an obstruction, such as a fatty deposit or blood clot from the axillary, brachial, subclavian, or innominate artery. He reaches the artery by making an incision in the patient’s arm and may use a catheter for the removal. For clinical responsibility, terminology, tips and additional info start codify free trial.
Major changes went into effect for coding endovascular repair procedures on Jan. 1. Multiple surgical codes (34800-34806, 34825-34826, 34900) and radiological supervision and interpretation (S&I) codes (75952-75954) were deleted and replaced with new codes describing endovascular repair of the abdominal aorta and/or iliac arteries.
Following the procedure there was an opening in the brachial artery requiring closure. This was closed with interrupted 7-0 Prolene sutures. The artery was flushed proximally and distally and secured. Hemostasis was adequate. Surgicel was placed over the artery. The wound was irrigated with saline and closed in layers with 3-0 Vicryl and 4-0 nylon.

A vascular family is just that: a family, with vessels branching from a common origin to form a “family tree.”. As an example, the brachiocephalic is a first-order vessel, or a “child” of the aorta (in this example, the aorta is our Eve). The brachiocephalic has two children, the right axillary and right common carotid, which are second ...
