Help with Peripheral

If anyone can take a look at this please. I am new to peripherals and am currently trying to learn how to code them so I am questioning the one’s I do. Thanks for the help!!!!

Intraoperatively, through a right femoral approach were able to cross all lesions involving the left SFA and popliteal artery. Reconstruction consisted of a combination of laser atherectomy of the high volume high calcific lesions of the SFA and popliteal artery utilizing a Spectranetics atherectomy laser. In addition we performed angioplasty of the SFA and popliteal artery segments. We did require 2 overlapping stent placements. We utilized overlapping supera stents: 5.5 mm x 120 mm, 6.5 mm x 120 mm. Final completion showed excellent flow through the SFA segment with brisk flow through the SFA and popliteal segments with continued three-vessel runoff to the foot and ankle region.
Patient was brought to the special procedure room. He was connected up to the appropriate monitoring devices consisting of heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximetry.

Anesthesia provided LMA anesthetic. The right groin was then prepped and draped in routine sterile fashion.

The right groin was locally anesthetized with 1% lidocaine without epinephrine. Duplex ultrasound was used to gain entry to the right common femoral guidewire advanced and a 5 French sheath placed over the guidewire. Guidewire was then navigated into the abnormal aorta. In advantage guidewire was used to navigate to the contralateral iliac side placing a guidewire at the level of the left common femoral region. The patient was then systemically heparinized.

Next, we exchanged the 5 French sheath to a long 7 French sheath which was delivered from the right groin to the left common femoral region. Utilizing a combination of CXI catheter along with several guidewires were able to navigate through the SFA and popliteal artery stenosis placing her catheter at the level of the tibial artery for confirmation. Next, we exchanged out to an 018 treasure 12 guidewire. We then delivered the Spectranetics atherectomy turbo device. Left lower extremity runoff confirmed the location necessary for atherectomy and cutting. Several passages were performed of the SFA and popliteal segments. We then performed balloon dilation utilizing a 5 mm angioplasty balloon along the segment from the popliteal up into the SFA region.

Next, we delivered 2 overlapping supera stents as described above. These were then post dilated utilizing a 7 mm angioplasty balloon in the more proximal portion of the SFA. And a 5.5 mm angioplasty balloon in the more distal portion of the SFA junction onto the popliteal artery.

At this point a left lower extremity runoff showed brisk flow with excellent reconstruction of the SFA and popliteal artery segment with continued three-vessel runoff.

Next the 7 French sheath was exchanged at the groin level to a short 7 French sheath. A Perclose device was then introduced and used for hemostasis. The knots were advanced and hemostasis achieved.
