How do I code this? Does this qualify for any CPT code or just part of E&M?

The patient's AVF bled from the ulceration profusely.
Vascular surgery was consulted for bleeding from the ulceration overlying his AVF site
1. 2-0 prolene U-stitch placed around ulcerated site to control bleeding, without issue. –

I would suggest a repair code, depending on doctors documentation for size and depth. there is also the 12020 code that you may look at
