CPT 37267: Femoral and Popliteal Arterial Stent Placement
CPT code 37267 represents stent placement, with or without angioplasty, for a straightforward lesion in an initial vessel within the femoral and popliteal arterial territory. This procedure addresses peripheral arterial stenosis in the common femoral/profunda femoris or superficial femoral/popliteal segments and includes all access, catheterization, lesion crossing, and imaging guidance. The approach may be percutaneous or open, and the service commonly occurs in hospital interventional suites, operating rooms, or ambulatory surgery centers. Nationwide, peripheral arterial interventions are a key component of vascular care for symptomatic limb ischemia and claudication, and accurate coding affects procedural tracking, utilization assessment, and payment determination.
Key payers examined include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find benchmarks for utilization and coverage patterns, an overview of clinical context for femoropopliteal stent placement, and notes on coding and service-site implications. The publication summarizes how 37267 is applied in practice, where it sits within the peripheral vascular service line, and what to consider when aligning clinical documentation with procedural billing. Data not available in the input is noted where applicable.

Billing Code Overview
CPT code 37267 describes stent placement in the femoral and popliteal vascular territory for a straightforward lesion in an initial vessel, and may include angioplasty. The procedure covers deployment of a small mesh tube to hold the artery open, with balloon expansion of a narrowed area if performed. The territory encompasses two vessel groups: the common femoral/profunda femoris and the superficial femoral/popliteal arteries. The service includes all access, catheterization, lesion crossing, and imaging guidance. The approach may be percutaneous or open.
Service type: Endovascular peripheral arterial stent placement (may include angioplasty)
Typical site of service: Hospital-based vascular interventional suite or operating room; outpatient ambulatory surgery center or interventional radiology suite
