Coronary Arteries Bypass Graft (CABG) is an open heart surgery procedure in which it bypasses the blockage located in coronary arteries to improve circulation of the blood. CABG procedure undergoes coding to better understand the process. For Combined Arteries-Veins Coronary Bypass Graft, it uses both the Arteries and Veins in the procedure. Thus, Use Arterial Code 33536 and followed by Venous Code which is 33523. Therefore, the answer to the above question is letter A.
