CPT Codes For Endovascular Repair Procedures Of The Descending Thoracic Aorta

Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for endovascular repair procedures of the descending thoracic aorta.

CPT Code 33880

CPT 33880 describes the endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aorta, including coverage of the left subclavian artery origin, initial endoprosthesis, and any necessary descending thoracic aortic extension to the level of the celiac artery origin.

CPT Code 33881

CPT 33881 describes the endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aorta, such as an aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, intramural hematoma, or traumatic disruption, which does not involve coverage of the left subclavian artery origin, and includes the initial endoprosthesis plus any descending thoracic aortic extension(s) to the level of the celiac artery origin, if required.

CPT Code 33883

CPT 33883 describes the placement of a proximal extension prosthesis for initial endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aorta, such as an aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, intramural hematoma, or traumatic disruption.

CPT Code 33886

CPT 33886 describes the placement of distal extension prosthesis(s) delayed after endovascular repair of descending thoracic aorta.

CPT Code 33889

CPT 33889 describes open subclavian to carotid artery transposition performed through a unilateral neck incision with endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta.

CPT Code 33891

CPT 33891 describes a bypass graft with a material other than a vein, performed transcervical in the retropharyngeal area between the carotid arteries, in conjunction with endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta, through a neck incision.
