venous infusion

[prabha]

"A 21-gauge needle was advanced into the right common femoral vein using ultrasound guidance and a 5-French vascular sheath was placed for infusion of blood products and crystalloid"

Can anyone get me the procedure code for the above procedure.This was done during a splenic artery angiography(access-right commomn femoral artery)

76937 if an US image was captured and saved, I would go with 76942 if it wasn't.
