Carotid stent placement when unable to place EPD
Date: Sep 6, 2012
Question:
If the physician plans to do a carotid stent but after several tries is unable to place the protection device, would you do that as a 37215-53? She did angioplasty to assist the device but was still unable.
Thanks!
Thanks!
