Summary

In this procedure, the provider restores the blood supply in a stenosed, or narrowed, tibial or peroneal artery through endovascular, open or percutaneous approach. He performs this procedure with a transluminal stent placement, a surgical procedure in which the provider places a stent at the site of an occlusion in the blood vessel and expands it against the narrow portion of the wall of the vessel. This code includes the angioplasty procedure when the provider performs it within the same vessel. Use this code when the provider performs this procedure on the initial vessel.
