Removal Of An Infected Vascular Graft In The Chest

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 35905

Takes out an artificial blood-vessel graft in the chest that has become infected, together with the infected tissue around it. An infected synthetic graft cannot be cleared with antibiotics alone, because bacteria shelter in a film on its surface that drugs cannot reach. Re-establishing blood flow by another route, where that is needed, is carried out as a separate operation.
