To clarify, when the IR MD does NOT go to surgery to assist with the vasculary surgeon to place a AAA stent, 75625 should be used to read the images performed during the procedure? If they were up in OR assisting only with the guidance, then 75952 is to be used, is this correct?

The criteria for billing an abdominal aortogram, 75625, is supervision and interpretation.
In this scenario there is no supervision component.
