What is the CPT code for "aspiration of fluid from lap band"? A description of the procedure is below.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Recurrent aspiration pneumonia from lap band
Post-operative Diagnosis: Same

The patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion over the palpable port. I then entered the port with a 1.5-inch Huber needle. This was done without difficulty. I then aspirated about 2 milliliters worth of fluid from her lap band. Patient tolerated procedure well.
