Anesthesia for Armpit-to-Groin Artery Bypass

Montana rates for HCPCS 01656

Anesthesia care for an operation that runs a long artificial graft from the artery under the collarbone and armpit, down beneath the skin of the chest and abdomen, to the artery in the groin, carrying blood past a blocked main artery in the trunk. The anesthesia team keeps the patient asleep and manages blood pressure and the strain on the heart over a long procedure, often in someone with serious heart or lung disease. The surgeon's work is charged separately.
