00.4 Adjunct Vascular System Procedures
Note: These codes can apply to both coronary and peripheral vessels. These codes are to be used in conjunction with other
therapeutic procedure codes to provide additional information on the number of vessels upon which a procedure
was performed and/or the number of stents inserted. As appropriate, code both the number of vessels operated
on (00.40-00.43), and the number of stents inserted (00.45-00.48).
Code also any:
angioplasty or atherectomy (00.61-00.62, 00.66, 39.50)
endarterectomy (38.10-38.18)
insertion of vascular stent(s) (00.55, 00.63-00.65, 36.06-36.07, 39.90)
other removal of coronary artery obstruction (36.09)
