IVUS in lower extremity procedures

Date: Feb 24, 2021

Question:

I have a lot of physicians using IVUS during their lower extremity procedures. My question is when they use IVUS in the SFA, anterior tibial artery, and posterior tibial artery, do I report code 37252 for the SFA and 37253 x 2 for the AT and PT vessels?
