Bilateral common iliac vein and IVC stenting with AFX Endologix Endograft

Date: Dec 3, 2023

Question:

"The endograft was placed in the main body and two iliac components. Under angiographic imaging, I noticed some larger lumbar collaterals and they were marked as our limit to IVC coverage with a covered stent. cc x 7.5 Enodlogix infrarenal endograft was deployed within the IVC stent overlapping the previously placed bifurcated endograft. Distal end was deployed immediately below the lumbar collaterals. The remaining infrarenal segment of sclerosis was treated with 18x100 Abre stent. The pararenal and suprarenal segment of IVC was treated with 36x80 Zenith dissection endovascular bare metal stent."

Please help. What all stents would be coded? Also, regular vein stent codes or is there a code set for endograft stents in the IVC and vein? I only see the EVAR codes for aorta and arteries.
