    "description": "Reopening a diseased artery in the thigh or behind the knee where both plaque removal and a stent are used. Plaque is shaved or sanded away with an atherectomy catheter, and a stent is then placed to hold the channel open; any balloon dilation in the same artery is included in this entry rather than described separately. This is the most complete of the femoral and popliteal revascularization group, which otherwise covers balloon work alone, a stent alone, or atherectomy alone, and one code covers that whole territory in a leg however many segments are treated.",
