I have a report that states a stent and angio were done to the LD.
At the end of the procedure he notes that he took a limited right femoral peripheral arteriogram to see if he could put a closure device at the site of the femoral arteriotomy.
However the arteriogram showed that there was a plaque at the site of the sheath insertion. The sheath was left in place and hooked through an A line to be removed 2 hours later.
Should I code for the arteriogram? If yes, what code should I use?
