Wiki CPT code for Small Bowel with variceal banding?

Create Wiki

Can I please get help? I'm trying to code for small bowel esophageal varices banding. All I can find are the following code(s):

43205 - Esophagoscopy, flexible, transoral; with band ligation of esophageal varices
43244 - Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flexible, transoral; with band ligation of esophageal/gastric varices
43400 - Ligation, direct, esophageal varices

Nothing specific to the small intestine. CPT code(s) ranging from 44360 - 44379.

What do you usually use?
