The stent was deployed from the lower abdominal aorta across the right common iliac artery stenosis. The flush catheter was replaced and a repeat angiogram was performed. The wire was replaced. A 7 mm x 4 cm balloon was advanced across the lesion within the left common femoral artery.
This demonstrated high-grade stenosis of the bilateral common iliac arteries, both approximately 75-80% in severity with moderate calcification. There was also an eccentric calcified 75% stenosis within the left distal common iliac into the proximal left external iliac artery bridging the hypogastric origin.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I74. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I74.
Both common iliac arteries branch from the base of the aorta. This part of the aorta is called the abdominal aorta because it's in your belly. The common iliac arteries begin around the midsection or belly button region.
The common iliac arteries arise from the aortic bifurcation and bifurcate into the external and internal iliac arteries anterior to the sacroiliac joint.
An iliac aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the iliac artery, a group of arteries located in the pelvis. Iliac aneurysms can burst, which can cause life-threatening, uncontrolled bleeding. Causes of iliac aneurysms include: Atherosclerosis. Infections.
The internal iliac artery (IIA), or hypogastric artery, is the primary artery supplying the pelvic viscera and an important contributor to structures of the pelvic wall, perineum, gluteal region, and thigh.
Repair of aneurysms exceeding 3.0 cm to 3.5 cm in diameter is recommended to prevent the risk of rupture. Rupture of common iliac artery aneurysms is associated with a risk of mortality approaching 70% (1–3).
Iliac artery disease is caused by the narrowing of the arteries leading to the legs. This narrowing can also be called a stenosis. It is usually caused by a buildup of fat or calcium deposits called plaque. Over time, this plaque can build to a total blockage of the artery. This is also called atherosclerosis.
1: Stricture of artery.
Common iliac artery The abdominal aorta divides at the level of the L4 vertebral body, and forms the two common iliac arteries. The common iliac arteries run laterally, and divide into the external and internal iliac arteries anterior to the sacroiliac joints.
When there is an athrectomy and angioplasty in the internal iliac artery, code 37220 and 0238T; for athrectomy with stent insertion in the ipsilateral external iliac artery, code +37223 and 0238T.
For the procedure, the left common femoral arter y was percutaneously entered and a catheter was placed in the aorta (CPT 36200), and contrast was injected for the aortogram. The catheter was then cannulated in the left common iliac and a left lower extremity angiogram was performed (remove CPT 36200 and add CPT 36245-LT). The angiogram showed a 60 percent stenosis in the SFA. The catheter was then changed and parked in the superficial femoral artery (remove CPT 36245-LT and add CPT 36247-LT) contrast was injected, and a subsequent angiogram showed 85 percent stenosis in the anterior tibial artery.
Let’s start with iliacs. Revascularization in the iliacs has five CPT codes: two primary/base codes (37220/37221) , two add-on codes, (+37222/+37233), and 0238T. For this example, documentation reflects the patient had a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the left internal iliac and a PTA with stent placement in the ipsilateral external iliac. A coding professional would code CPT 37221-LT (Revascularilization, endovascular, open or percutaneous, iliac artery, unilateral, initial vessel, with transcatheter stent placement, includes angioplasty within same vessel; when performed) followed by +37222-LT (Revascularization, endovascular, open or percutatneous, iliac artery, each additional ipsilateral iliac vessel; with transluminal angioplasty) (List separately in addition to coding for primary procedure).
Consider this example: Documentation shows a selective catheter placement in the left common iliac (CPT 36245), a first order selective catheter placement, followed by selective catheter placement in the left common femoral artery (CPT 36246), a second order catheter placement. Following the guidance above, code to the highest catheter order placement. Since CPT 36246 is second order and 36245 is a first order, CPT 36245 is bundled in with 36246, so a coding professional would report 36246-LT.
There are three orders for selective catheter placements: first, second, and third order (CPT 36245, 36246, 36247, and sometimes 36248). When the documentation states the catheter went into a 3rd order vascular family (CPT 36247), any non-selective codes (36200), first order (36245), and second order (36246) are bundled in with CPT 36247 on the ipsilateral side (same side as catheter placement).
Let’s put it all together with catheter placements and interventions. As discussed earlier, whenever catheters are placed and then a decision is made to do an intervention, the catheter placements (selective and non-selective) are not coded separately, as they are bundled with the intervention CPT code (s).
The catheter can “ enter” the aorta, but it is considered a non-selective vessel. When the documentation shows that the catheter placement was only in the aorta, the non-selective catheter placement CPT code 36200 is coded. Once the catheter is placed into a selective artery, the non-selective code is removed and bundled in with ...

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable ( Z18.-)
Don't forget to code your catheter placement. 36247 for the Lt Posterior Tibial Artery.
Left iliac angiogram obtained with the IM catheter position to the left proximal iliac artery, same IM catheter was used for the left lower extremity angiogram, and was advanced across the aortic bifurcation to the left common femoral artery.
Superficial femoral artery is a large-sized vessel with mild luminal irregularities, not more than 20% sten osis in mid and distal portion.
Iliac vein stenosis (narrowing) or compression is a frequently under-diagnosed condition which may result in leg edema, discomfort, venous stasis skin changes varying from hyperpigmentation to ulcers. Many symptoms often seen in patients with venous insufficiency may actually be due to iliac vein stenosis or compression.
One of the reasons iliac vein stenosis / compression is underdiagnosed is that the condition is quite difficult to identify non-invasively. lliac vein stenosis is difficult to visualize with external ultrasound, CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging.
While arterial blockages are typically not treated unless more than 70% stenosis, venous obstruction is considered significant if more than 50%. Highly specialized stents have been developed for treatment of iliac vein stenosis.
Some patients present with an iliac deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which, after treatment, is typically due to compression of the left iliac vein by the overlying right iliac artery. This is known as “May-Thurner Syndrome”. However, many patients have a less sudden course due to areas of iliac vein stenosis from fibrosis (“scarring”) of the vein.
