I thought this should be the 36120 but my trainer states 36215....any input from anyone...not sure I understand.
Procedure: Left subclavian angiogram.
Indication: Poor maturation of left arm AV fistula.
Results: Patient was identified and brought to the vascular unit. The left arm was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 2% lidocaine was used to infiltrate the skin over the left arm AV fistula. A micropuncture technique was used to access the fistula in a retrograde fashion. The fistula was traversed with an angled Glidewire and a Berenstein catheter was utilized to cannulate the left brachial artery then left axillary artery then left subclavian artery. The catheter tip was in the left subclavian artery. Left subclavian angiogram was performed with the following findings. There is complete occlusion of the proximal left subclavian artery. There is flow through the left vertebral artery. The left axillary artery is patent as well. The internal mammary artery is patent.
