CPT® Code 37208

Deleted

Transcatheter placement of an intravascular stent(s) (except coronary, carotid, vertebral, iliac and lower extremity arteries), open; each additional vessel (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)

The CPT® Code 37208 refers to the transcatheter placement of an intravascular stent in an additional vessel, excluding specific arteries such as coronary, carotid, vertebral, iliac, and lower extremity arteries. This code is utilized when a healthcare provider performs stenting in more than one vessel during a single procedural session. The procedure begins with the insertion of a catheter into the vascular system, which is then navigated to the site of stenosis, or narrowing, in the targeted vessel. Once the catheter reaches the designated area, a stent is deployed to restore and enhance blood flow. Following the placement of the stent, the catheter is carefully withdrawn, and the incision site is subsequently repaired. This code is specifically designated for reporting each additional vessel that is treated during the procedure, allowing for accurate documentation and billing of the services rendered.
