I have a case, where the procedure was ordered as a carotid stent placement. Bilateral Cervicocercical arteriograms (36223-50) were performed along with a 3-d angiogram. The doctor tried to cross the stenosis using multiple wires and wires and microcatheters. Despite prolong measures and and a significant amount of time, the doctor could not cross the lesion. The case was finished.
My question is would you code 37215-74 for the attempted stent placement, or just the angioplasty?
Thanks,
