Is there a CPT code for a percutaneous atherectomy-common femoral vein???

I see there is a venous angioplasty code but not seeing atherectomy? Am I missing it or will I have to go unlisted?

Look at 35493. Per CPT, this is a "transluminal peripheral atherectomy, percutaneous; femoral-popliteal.

Well, is the code for PTA same/applicable for all types of peripheral atherectomy devices-like Conventional Directional Atherectomy Device, Laser, Rotational Atherectomy Device?
By the way is the one used here a device like Conventional Directional Atherectomy or PTA or what?
Could you please enlighten a little more?
Could you explain the coding description with more details and the appropriate numbers for all the currently available atherectomy Devices please?
Thank you
