Summary

In this procedure, the provider restores the blood supply in the stenosed, or narrowed, unilateral tibial or peroneal artery through an endovascular, open or percutaneous approach. He performs this procedure with transluminal stent placement, a surgical procedure in which the provider places a stent at the site of occlusion in the blood vessel and expands it against the narrow portion of the wall of the vessel. He also performs this procedure with 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.
