**The primary CCI coding should be the vessel being bypassed (i.e. the one with the blockage) combined with [[Bypass]]. Thus don't generally include the vessel SUPPLYING the bypass (e.g. in an ax-fem, the femoral is the one blocked and the axillary is supplying the blood to it via a bypass). Now IF they take a vessel from elsewhere (often a vein) to do the bypass, then you can also code the harvest by combining the vessel taken with [[Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use]]. Obviously if they use a dacron graft, then there'll be no harvesting. | |||

When we have an answer, this information should be moved to Template:CCI Guideline Vascular graft and linked as appropriate in Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use. At the least, something linke "such as axillofemoral bypass grafting" needs to go in there so it can be found in future
