Wiki Filter RX Distal Protection Device

Has anyone coded one of these done during a Left Heart Cath? It was placed prior to the stent, then retrieved after the stent was deployed. The only filter code I can come up with is for the IVC filter but that doesn't seem right for this. Any ideas?

The filter is part of the stent charge, so it cannot be billed separately.
