I am curious about something and I hope some one can help me figure this out. Just for instance, if Dr. A was performing a angiogram of external iliac and finds no disease, then moves to the internal iliac and performs an angio and finds disease and he them performs an angioplasty in the internal iliac. Now with the new 2011 peripheral guidelines is it safe to code for the external iliac placement and angio, becuase the external iliac is considered a separate territory from the internal iliac. Or would the cath placement and angio in the external iliac be included in the angioplasty that was done in the internal iliac? if anyone has any insight on this please message me back.
Thanks a bunch,
