I need assistance on a "selective catheterization of 2nd order artery" please.
My provider performed
Access to graft with angiogram
Selective catheterization of 2nd order artery
Arteriogram
I know how to code all except the 2nd order artery cath. Is that a separate code? The description of that part of procedure is:
"The ulnar artery was selectively catheterized with the 4 french straight vascular catheter. This was done because of the need to examine the artery, the flow of blood into the forearm and hand, and to rule out steal syndrome. Contrast was injected into the ulnar artery and an arteriogam was performed from this location."
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Mary
