The patient is a 59-year-old white male who underwent carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic
left carotid stenosis a year ago. A carotid CT angiogram showed a recurrent 90% left internal
carotid artery stenosis extending into the common carotid artery. He is taken to the operating
room for re-do left carotid endarterectomy. The left neck was prepped and the previous incision
was carefully reopened. Using sharp dissection, the common carotid artery and its branches were
dissected free. The patient was systematically heparinized and after a few minutes, clamps were
applied to the common carotid artery and its branches. A longitudinal arteriotomy was carried
out with findings of extensive layering of intimal hyperplasia with no evidence of recurrent
atherosclerosis. A silastic balloon-tip shunt was inserted first proximally and then distally, with
restoration of flow. Several layers of intima were removed and the endart - Answer>>> B.

A 52-year-old patient is admitted to the hospital for chronic cholecystitis for which a
laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be performed. A transverse infraumbilical incision was made
sharply dissecting to the subcutaneous tissue down to the fascia using access under direct vision
with a Vesi-Port and a scope was placed into the abdomen. Three other ports were inserted under
direct vision. The fundus of the gallbladder was grasped through the lateral port, where multiple
adhesions to the gallbladder were taken down sharply and bluntly: The gallbladder appeared
chronically inflamed. Dissection was carried out to the right of this identifying a small cystic
duct and artery, was clipped twice proximally, once distally and transected. The gallbladder was
then taken down from the bed using electrocautery, delivering it into an endo-bag and removing
it from the abdominal cavity with the umbilical port. What CPT® and ICD-10-C - Answer>>>
B. 47562, K81.1
