CPT code 35876 represents surgical management of a clotted vascular graft (excluding hemodialysis grafts) with revision of the existing graft, for example by patching. This procedure is relevant for vascular surgeons and hospitals managing thrombosed prosthetic or autologous grafts, as timely revision can restore blood flow and prevent limb- or organ-threatening ischemia.
