Can I get help for a diagnosis code for occluded SFA stent?

Thanks for any help.

I would use 996.74

Occluded SFA Stent

if the stent is occluded from a "complication" (ie: broken stent) then i would code from the 996.x series but if it is a "re-stenosis" then i would code from the 440.3x (atherosclerosis of bypass graft of extremity).
HTH!
