Can anyone help with this one. we have a difference in the coding.
reason for exam: removal of infusaport line,2nd to fragmented catheter during mediport removal,catheter remains within the left subclavian vein.
PROCEDURE: right groin was prepped and draped, using US guidance, the right common femoral vein was accessed using a micropuncture neele. next a 4 french glide catheter was advanced over thewire into the RT subclavain vein. throught his, an 8 mm snare device was advanced into the vein. the foreign body catheter fragment was snared successfully. however any attempts to try and remove the catheter, the catheter would become loose, as it appeard to be fixed in position. it then became apparent that the catheter was sutured in place within the rt upper extremity. the catheter and snare device was removed.
