Vein Cuff at the Join of a Bypass Graft

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 35685

Where a man-made bypass graft is sewn to the artery at its far end, a small collar or patch made from the patient's own vein is added at the junction. The soft vein cushion makes the join less likely to scar up and close off, so the graft keeps working longer. It is billed in addition to the bypass operation itself.
