Treatment of ostial stenosis of common iliac and external iliac stenosis

Date: Sep 6, 2012

Question:

Hi Dr Z/Dr Dunn, I have a question regarding the coding of an anigoplasy & stent placement of an ostial stenosis of the common iliac artery in addition to angioplasty & stent placement of external iliac arterty stenosis. My question is, how would the Ostial common iliac stenosis intervention be code-a aortic stent Or a common iliac stent 37221? I don't see a code for an aortic stent so presumably one could code 37221 & 37224(ext iliac stenosis) thank you.
