Wiki Diagnosis question on dialysis catheter

[DebbiePottsEngland]

I have a surgeon removing a tunnelled central line used for hemodialysis. Would I use the diagnosis code for removal of vascular catheter (V58.81) or removal of hemodialysis catheter (V56.1).

your help is appreciated.

I would go with V56.1.
