Stent placements for PDA from both Aortic and Pulmonary sides.
Date: May 15, 2023
Question:
After stent placement from the pulmonary side for treatment of a PDA, the physician elected to place a second stent within the aortic side. Would code selection be 33902 with 33904 or 33902 with 37236 for the aortic portion, or possibly only 33902 since this is a single intervention?
