About
Description
Procedure category: Vascular Surgery - Operative procedure involving arteries or veins includes aortic aneurysm repair, vascular grafts, and carotid, iliac, femoral or popliteal artery operations. Excludes varicose vein repair, creation of arterial shunts, coronary artery bypass graft, or any procedures involving the pulmonary artery.
Procedure subcategory: Other replacement of aneurysmal femoral artery (Clean) (L57)
Methodology
Generated programmatically from the Surgical Site Infection Surveillance Service (SSISS) Operating Procedure Codes Supplement (OPCS) under the UK Open Government Licence v3.0. This includes codelists for 17 categories of surgical procedure. Within each category, there are subcategories of procedures. This codelist includes the codes for a single subcategory.
Procedure category notes: Note: In categories L16 to L21, L48 to L54 and L56-L6 5reference to iliac artery (not further qualified) should be understood to include: • common iliac artery • external iliac artery • internal iliac artery Similarly reference to femoral artery includes: • common femoral artery • deep femoral artery • superficial femoral artery The minimum wound class for vascular surgery is clean.
Procedure subcategory notes: Excludes: When associated with connection from aorta or iliac artery (L49) Includes: Replacement of aneurysmal femoral artery by anastomosis of femoral artery to femoral artery using prosthesis not elsewhere classified Includes: Replacement of aneurysmal femoral artery by anastomosis of femoral artery to popliteal artery not elsewhere classified Includes: Popliteal artery Includes: Replacement of aneurysmal femoral artery by anastomosis of femoral artery to tibial artery not elsewhere classified Popliteal artery Includes: Popliteal artery Includes: Replacement of aneurysmal femoral artery by anastomosis of femoral artery to peroneal artery not elsewhere classified Popliteal artery
Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
