Question:
What are the “additional artery” codes for revascularization in the femoral/ popliteal territory?
Answer:
All the femoral and popliteal arteries are considered a single vessel for coding of revascularization procedures within the femoral/popliteal territory. Because of that, there are no “additional artery” codes in this territory.
