For coding 2026 lower extremity revascularization procedures, how do we break down the coding when two distinct lesions are treated in two separate territories? Do we code for angioplasty as well?
In this instance, you must code two primary codes. For example, if common iliac and common femoral lesions were both treated with angioplasty, codes 37254 and 37263 would be reported. Angioplasty is only coded when it is the only intervention performed. Note that angioplasty is included in other, more intensive interventions within the same artery (i.e., stenting, atherectomy).
