Iliac Artery Aneurysm Treatment Coding

November 11, 2021

Question:
How do I code for an isolated iliac artery treated endovascularly with an iliac endograft?

Answer:
These codes were revised in 2018 to include either ruptured or unruptured iliac aneurysms. In addition, non-selective catheterization and radiological supervision and interpretation are now inclusive. The full code descriptions are shown below. The CPT manual also includes detailed guidelines on the use of these codes.

34707
Endovascular repair of iliac artery by deployment of an ilio-iliac tube endograft including pre-procedure sizing and device selection, all nonselective catheterization(s), all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, and all endograft extension(s) proximally to the aortic bifurcation and distally to the iliac bifurcation, and treatment zone angioplasty/stenting, when performed, unilateral; for other than rupture (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, arteriovenous malformation)

34708
Endovascular repair of iliac artery by deployment of an ilio-iliac tube endograft including pre-procedure sizing and device selection, all nonselective catheterization(s), all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, and all endograft extension(s) proximally to the aortic bifurcation and distally to the iliac bifurcation, and treatment zone angioplasty/stenting, when performed, unilateral; for rupture including temporary aortic and/or iliac balloon occlusion, when performed (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, arteriovenous malformation, traumatic disruption)
