*AG REPLY --- in general it appears that procedures performed on vascular grafts (either synthetic grafts or vessels harvested from elsewhere for use) are coded just as you would if the same thing was done to the native vessel. So this would be 1.KG.57 = therapeutic EXTACTION procedure [which includes thrombectomy] on arteries of the leg NOS [which includes the femoral arteries] | *AG REPLY --- in general it appears that procedures performed on vascular grafts (either synthetic grafts or vessels harvested from elsewhere for use) are coded just as you would if the same thing was done to the native vessel.
