Procedure: | (T) Blood Vessels, NOS |
CCI 1 code: | 1.KZ |

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 1 codes - what organ was something done to.
Additional Info
- This is a wastebasket item that will include arteries and/or veins. For an even BIGGER wastebasket, see (T) Circulatory System, NOS
Collecting "CCI collect each" items
- "CCI collect each" items are entered each time they happen
- Px Date
- if an Acquired Procedure, enter the Px Date for each day that they happen
- if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank
- Px Count
- if they happen more than once on a day, enter the number of times for that day, otherwise enter a Px Count of 1

Vascular graft guideline
Keywords for different kinds of bypasses so this can be found when searching: Axillofemoral bypass grafting / ax-fem bypass / axillobifemoral bypass, fem-tib bypass, fem-pop bypass, aorto-bi-iliac bypass, aorto-biiliac bypass, aorto-fem bypass
Harvesting for the graft
If they take a vessel from elsewhere (often a vein) to do the bypass, then you can also code the harvest by combining the appropriate Therapeutic Px from Category:Vessel with Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use. Obviously if they use a dacron graft, then there'll be no harvesting.
Placing the graft
Code:
- the CCI1 code for the target (bypassed) vessel at which the bypass ends, not the origin vessel from which the bypass (and blood flow) begins.
- the CCI2 code Bypass / Repair as appropriate
Procedures done to a graft at a later time
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.
When something is being done to a graft that's already in place, the "body part" of the CCI component code isn't the graft but rather is the native vessel that was there before grafting.
Example: |
Femoral artery dacron graft gets infected and is replaced. The ICD10 diagnosis code would be Iatrogenic, infection, internal prosthetic device or implant or graft NOS, and the CCI code components would be (T) Arteries of Leg, NOS with Repair |
