Summary

In this procedure, the provider restores the blood supply in a tibial or peroneal artery through an endovascular, open or percutaneous approach. He performs this procedure with an atherectomy, a surgical procedure to remove plaque from the blood vessel. This code includes an angioplasty procedure when the provider performs it within the same vessel. Use this code when the provider performs this procedure on the initial vessel.
