Hi..
I have a case where venous balloon angioplasty was performed on Rt.Common iliac vein, Rt.External Iliac vein and Rt. Common femoral vein.

1.Please advice if this has to coded as 3 units
or should be coded as per the iliac, Femoro-popliteal, and Tibio-Peroneal territory guidelines.

2.Please clarify if the lower extremity Revasculariation territory classification is only for territories or for Venous also

Thanks...
