Hi,
I have 37212 and 36012/75820, and 76937....not sure of other venography codes. Please help.
Using ultrasound
guidance a 21 gauge needle puncture needle was advanced into the
left distal popliteal vein and once blood return was obtained at
0.0 18 Mandril wire was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. A 5
French micropuncture dilator was then inserted and 0.018 inch
Mandril was exchanged for a 0.035 inch Newton wire after dilating
the tract, a 8F vascular sheath was placed. Using a JB-1 catheter
and a 0.035" glidewire the catheter was manipulated into the
femoral, external iliac and common femoral vein and contrast was
injected at each site demonstrating extensive expanding occlusive
thrombus from the distal femoral vein to the iliac bifurcation
with refluxing of contrast into small collateral and lumbar
veins. A cavogram was performed showing no evidence
