NEW QUESTION # 168
A 35-year-old female has cancer in her left breast. The surgeon performs a mastectomy, removing the breast tissue, skin, pectoral muscles, and surrounding tissue, including the axillary and internal mammary lymph nodes.
Which mastectomy code is reported?
Answer: A
Explanation:
For a mastectomy that involves removing the breast tissue, skin, pectoral muscles, and surrounding tissue, including the axillary and internal mammary lymph nodes, the appropriate CPT code is:
19306: Mastectomy, radical, including pectoral muscles, axillary lymph nodes.
This code captures the extent of the surgery, including the removal of the breast tissue, skin, pectoral muscles, and lymph nodes.

NEW QUESTION # 169
A patient with coronary artery disease due to lipid-rich plaque undergoes coronary artery bypass grafting. The surgeon performs a left internal mammary artery graft to the left anterior descending artery. Then performs saphenous vein grafts to the obtuse marginal artery, ramus intermedius, and posterior descending artery. An endoscopic saphenous vein harvest is performed.
What CPT coding is reported for the surgical procedure?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Procedure Coding (CPT):
33533 - CABG, arterial graft; single arterial graft (LIMA to LAD)
Correct for left internal mammary artery # LAD
33519 - CABG, venous grafts; three coronary venous grafts
Saphenous vein grafts placed to:
Obtuse marginal
Ramus intermedius
Posterior descending artery
Total = 3 venous grafts
33508 - Endoscopic harvest of saphenous vein
Separately reportable only when endoscopic
Add-on code (no modifier required)
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
A / C - Incorrect arterial graft code (33536 = multiple arterial grafts) B - Incorrect venous graft count (33512 = two grafts) CPT Guideline Reference:
CABG codes are selected based on:
Type of conduit (arterial vs venous)
Number of distal anastomoses
Endoscopic harvest is add-on and separately reportable
NEW QUESTION # 170
The CPTcode book provides full descriptions of medical procedures, with some descriptions requiring the use of a semicolon (;) to distinguish among closely related procedures.
What is the full description of CPTcode 35860?
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the CPTcode book, code 35860 describes an "Exploration for postoperative hemorrhage, thrombosis or infection" in multiple areas, specifically including the neck, chest, abdomen, and/or extremity. This code is used when a surgeon explores these areas postoperatively to locate and address complications such as bleeding, clots, or infections.
B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not fully encompass all the areas listed in the actual description of CPT code 35860, which includes all four regions (neck, chest, abdomen, and extremity).
Thus, the correct answer is A. Exploration for postoperative hemorrhage, thrombosis or infection; neck, chest, abdomen, and/or extremity.

MR 001394
Operative Report
Procedure: Excision of 11 cm back lesion with rotation flap repair.
Preoperative Diagnosis: Basal cell carcinoma
Postoperative Diagnosis: Same
Anesthesia: 1% Xylocaine solution with epinephrine warmed and buffered and injected slowly through a 30-gauge needle for the patient's comfort.
Location: Back
Size of Excision: 11 cm
Estimated Blood Loss: Minimal
Complications: None
Specimen: Sent to the lab in saline for frozen section margin control.
Procedure: The patient was taken to our surgical suite, placed in a comfortable position, prepped and draped, and locally anesthetized in the usual sterile fashion. A #15 scalpel blade was used to excise the basal cell carcinoma plus a margin of normal skin in a circular fashion in the natural relaxed skin tension lines as much as possible The lesion was removed full thickness including epidermis, dermis, and partial thickness subcutaneous tissues. The wound was then spot electro desiccated for hemorrhage control. The specimen was sent to the lab on saline for frozen section.
Rotation flap repair of defect created by foil thickness frozen section excision of basal cell carcinoma of the back. We were able to devise a 12 sq cm flap and advance it using rotation flap closure technique. This will prevent infection, dehiscence, and help reconstruct the area to approximate the situation as it was prior to surgical excision diminishing the risk of significant pain and distortion of the anatomy in the area. This was advanced medially to close the defect with 5 0 Vicryl and 6-0 Prolene stitches.
What CPT coding is reported for this case?
Answer: B
Explanation:
For the excision of an 11 cm lesion with a rotation flap repair, the appropriate CPT codes are 14001 for the adjacent tissue transfer or rearrangement (12 sq cm flap) and 11606-51 for the excision of a malignant lesion including margins, face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips; excised diameter over 4.0 cm. Modifier 51 indicates multiple procedures. The detailed operative report specifies the lesion size and the technique used, justifying these codes.
