Catheter with Angioplasty Procedure

Question:

If a third-order catheter is pulled back and enters the iliac, which is then treated with angioplasty, can you code that selective iliac catheterization in addition to the angioplasty?

Answer:

​No, because catheterization is inclusive to lower extremity arterial revascularization interventions, such as an arterial angioplasty and stenting. Report the angioplasty only.
