coronary lithotripsy with angioplasty only
Date: Jan 13, 2022
Question:
Glad to see that CMS has updated its list of codes that are appropriate for use with C1761. However, we recently had a case where lithotripsy was performed and the vessel was then able to be opened with angioplasty (no stent, no atherectomy, and not a CTO). What do you suggest we report in this instance?
