Hi there--
Our IR Department just did a bilateral extremity venogram on a patient to confirm the results of a surgical removal of a leiomyoma from the IVC and Right Atrium. (common femoral vein puncture site, they then began the procedure by checking the illiac venous system, then moved upward with final cath placement in the IVC to study the IVC and right atrium) What do you think about coding 75746 (angiography, pulmonary,by nonselective catheter or venous injection) for the nonselective imaging of the right atrium? I am not completely sold, but I'm not sure what other code may be better a fit. Any other ideas if you don't agree with 75746?
Thanks!
