Distal Abdominal Stenosis Stent Implanted

What is the cpt code for stent implantation into distal Aorta. This patient had a stenosis in distal aorta just above the bifurcation. The physician placed a covered stent into aorta and into the left iliac with the intention to occlude the right iliac.( patient to have fem-pop bypass surgery later) There was also a distal iliac stenosis separate to the distal aorta stenosis.

Question is:


Is there a code for stent placement in aorta for the reason of stenosis not an AAA.?


Would 37236 apply in this situation.


The physician stated she is dictating stent placement distal aorta.
