Article Overview

This coding article explains how lower extremity revascularization procedures are discussed when intravascular optical coherence tomography is used during atherectomy guidance. It is intended for coding professionals, billers, and clinical documentation staff who need to understand how the guidance imaging is characterized within the CPT framework and how the article distinguishes that from diagnostic intravascular OCT in peripheral vessels. The discussion centers on lower extremity revascularization services, related imaging support, and when unlisted reporting may be relevant for a diagnostic service.
