Hello, I am struggling to decide if the following statement is enough to code control of bleeding? I do not think so but need other opinions. If not control of bleeding what would be coded?
Regular EGD? Any help is much appreciated!


Red blood was found in the gastric fundus and in the gastric
body. Breaking up of clot with snare and removal by extensive
irrigation. After removal of the clot, there were no lesions in the
body, fundus, or antrum. There was one ulcer at the incisura,
described below.
