Coronary angioplasty and stenting volume in Brooklyn, New York
74 clinicians CMS lists under interventional cardiology, cardiology and its subspecialties, cardiac or thoracic surgery, or internal medicine billed at least one coronary
angioplasty and stenting procedure in Brooklyn in the August 2026 release.
CMS reports coronary angioplasty and stenting as a single category. These are the
procedures commonly known as heart stents, coronary stents, stent placement and balloon
angioplasty, and they are performed by clinicians CMS lists under interventional
cardiology, cardiology and its subspecialties, cardiac or thoracic surgery, or internal
medicine.

Coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures billed
Sorted by the number of coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures billed to
Medicare, highest first. This is an
ordering of one published figure, not a ranking of quality, skill, or outcomes.
CMS suppresses counts of 10 and below to protect patient privacy and publishes the
range instead, which is not a count of zero; 32 of these clinicians carry that
range.
Understanding CMS Data
These figures are based on coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures billed to Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage as reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in their August 2026 data release. The CMS data doesn't include procedures performed for patients who have other health care coverage (e.g., commercially insured, self pay, or VA). Furthermore, CMS sums up specific billing codes covering balloon angioplasty, stent placement, plaque removal, and related catheter treatments of the arteries of the heart to calculate this total. The category is named for the group of procedures it covers, not for what each one involved: a procedure counts whether or not a stent was placed. Billing variation and coding errors could potentially affect CMS's data. Therefore, the coronary angioplasty and stenting volume data reported by CMS may be higher or lower than the actual total coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures performed by a clinician. We share the total coronary angioplasty and stenting figures for the clinicians CMS lists under interventional cardiology, cardiology and its subspecialties, cardiac or thoracic surgery, or internal medicine as CMS publishes them, without alteration.
