Summary

In this add–on procedure, the provider restores the blood supply in an additional stenosed, or narrowed, unilateral, tibial, or peroneal artery through an endovascular, open or percutaneous approach after he performs the same procedure in an initial vessel. He performs this procedure with 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 an angioplasty procedure when the provider performs it within the same vessel. Use this code when the provider performs this procedure on each additional vessel.
