I have a patient who came down from an earlier intervention that still had the sheath in place. Patient status changed later in the day with complaints of claudication physician brought patient down for revis of lower leg.

The intervention earlier was PTA with Stent placement of SFA.

I would like to code 75710 however what about the surgical code. Normally you have cath placement. In this case angio was done through already placed sheath.

Would I only code 75710?

Catheter placement is bundled into intervention.

Jim,


thank you for the reply. Just to clarify, cath placement is still in effect from previous procedure earlier in the day since the sheath was left in. Correct?
