This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach.

UNSPSC 85504556 Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent opportunities tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — bear no connection to the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices do not solicit for individual surgical techniques through this UNSPSC code; the mismatch suggests either a taxonomy error in the posting system or systematic miscoding of health benefit and occupational health services under an inappropriately narrow surgical commodity code.

No relevant recent opportunities exist under this code for vascular surgical procedures or related surgical services as the code's name defines them.
