Your title states Thromboendaterectomy but the documentation says Thromboembolectomy. These are different procedures. The embolectomy of the brachial/subclavian/axillary look at 34101. The ulnar embolectomy would be 34111 if another incision was made but it only looks like one incision was made, so I would just go with 34101.
