Wiki Ligation of aneurysm forehead

[CVelez]

Hi

Any suggestions for coding ligation of artery right forehead. Dr is coding 11440 but his does not sound correct to me. No lesion was removed. Op note states to no mass type lesions were discovered. Artery was ligated with suture and hemastasis was achieved with bipolar electrocautery.


Thanks

Charla

Have you looked at 37609-possibly? If it was the temporal artery, that is.
