Inferior pole branch renal PTA with Left main renal stent

Date: Dec 13, 2018

Question:

Abdominal aorta at level of renals was cannulated along with the superior mesenteric, celiac, and right and left renals, with the inferior pole branch renal angioplastied and the left main renal stented. I have 36252, 36245, 3624-59, 37246-59-LT, and 37236-LT, but I'm not sure if the PTA should also be coded, or the stent only.
