Right Lower Extremity Artery Replacement Procedure Overview
This code group covers open replacement procedures on the right lower extremity artery using bioengineered conduits and targets the cardiovascular system. These procedures involve removing and replacing all or part of the arterial segment with a material that takes the place and function of the native vessel. Accurate coding matters for inpatient reimbursement because it reflects the specific operation, body part, and use of new technology that affect case mix and payment.
