How is access common femoral artery with stenting of carotid artery coded? "OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: Patient prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Ultrasound was used for right common femoral arterial access and placement confirmed with fluoroscopy. A wire was advanced into the aorta and catheter advanced into the arch. Using an angled glide wire and glide cath, the right innominate and then subclavian was selected. A stiff wire was advanced down the subclavian and into the brachial artery under direct visualization and a 7 French x 90 cm Ansel sheath was advanced into the innominate. We had been giving heparin since the start of the procedure in compliance with neurology stipulations. With the sheath in the innominate, angiograms were obtained and the exact location of the port entrance was identified. An 8L x 29 mm VBX stent was advanced with some difficulty through the sheath and positioned across the area of injury. Cutdown and angiogram was taken through the port for confirmation of positioning. The stent was deployed and the port removed. Angiogram demonstrated a small leak, so the stent was post-dilated with a 9 mm balloon."
