"A freer elevator was used to remove the dense, heavy, calcific plaque from the level of the distal external iliac arteries at the circumflex vessels down to the femoral bifurcation. Plaque was truncated at the origin of the profunda which was patent."

Debate in office is between 35355, 35371 or 35372
Any help/guidance here is much appreciated!!
