EXCISION AND/OR REPAIR
  1. Common femoral artery repair includes repair to the profunda femoris artery as far as the first
     major branch.
    2. If the repair extends beyond the first major branch of the profunda femoris artery, R815 may be
       claimed in addition.
    3. If the repair extends beyond the second major branch of the profunda femoris artery, R856
       instead of R815 may be claimed in addition.
    4. For procedures involving the application of a complete aortic cross clamp, the anaesthetic basic
       fee will depend on:
        a. the level of application of the cross clamp; and
        b. the surgical exposure and extent of the aortic repair
