The physician performed a venoplasty, but the result was inadequate. So a stent was placed in the vein. Am unsure of lower extremity venous coding. Can both the venoplasty and stent of the iliac vein be coded?
Thanks
 
Iliac vein angioplasty

I have just completed a CPC course in which we were highly concentrated on this area and if I am not mistaken you would use 37221 which is Revascularization (Angioplasty) via the iliac (artery) with stent placement. This is via iliac artery though so be sure of your access
 
No. The revascularization codes are stacked. Read the section rules it is very detailed & will answer all your questions.
PTA is included in Atherectomy codes
PTA is included in Stent codes
 
The section you mention, I believe, deals with ARTERIAL revascularization.

Iliac Vein Stent

The correct CPT code for the Iliac Vein stent is 37205 plus the S&I 75960. You can also code the Selective Cath Placement:D

The 37220-37235 are for Lower Extremety Arterial Treatments.
