Question:

Greetings, How would you code a open endarterectomy in the internal carotid and proximally into the common carotid, a patch graft was then placed. The patch graft was punctured a diagnostic angiogram was performed, then a genesis stent was placed in the common carotid over the storq wire. Would you use a open stent code or 0075T. and is the endarterectomy bundled. Very Confused. Thanks LW
