A patient has severe right common iliac vein stenosis with 74% compression, right external iliac vein stenosis with 60% compression, and right common femoral vein stenosis with 50% compression. The physician performed the placement of two separate stents, one from the ostium on the right common iliac vein to the mid-right external iliac vein and another from the mid-segment of the right external iliac vein to convert the entire segment of the right common femoral vein. Would it be appropriate to report codes for two separate stents or a single intervention for these procedures?
