A patient status post deep venous arterialization (DVA), a procedure in which arterial blood is shunted by an endovascular stent that originates in a leg artery and then penetrates the arterial wall and then extends into the deep veins allowing oxygenated artery blood into the veins, presents with an endoleak around the stent at the left posterior tibial artery. The patient undergoes endovascular revascularization including angiography, placement of a stent graft in the proximal posterior tibial artery, and then placement of an extension stent to the preexisting stent in the outflow distal posterior tibial vein. What is the correct code(s) to report the placement of both the tibial artery stent and the tibial vein stent?
