Wiki Internal Carotid Shortening?

[Cconradson]

My doc did a Right carotid endarterectomy with a shortening of the right internal carotid artery with patch closure..

Just wondering in the shortening included or is there a CPT I am missing somewhere for it!! I cant seem to find any information on shortening of the internal carotid :-/ any help is greatly appreciated!

Not separately billable

This bundles into the carotid endartectomy. It's done to provide a better "lay" of the artery which goes to establishing/promoting inflow/outflow by any means necessary. 35301 is all they get.
