Summary

In this procedure, the provider inserts a catheter with a rotating blade, inflates a balloon tipped catheter into the blocked area of the coronary artery, and places a stent to expand the narrowed walls of the vessel to treat stenosis. This code describes work on a single vessel, specifically performed in or through a coronary artery bypass graft. The provider performs this procedure to restore the blocked coronary artery bypass graft.
