Stumped! Anyone know the CPT code for a maxillary artery embolization done for uncontrollable epistaxis?

Thanks in advance for ANY and all input! I appreciate your help...

Who actually did the embolization?

If you send me the op-notes to kelly.bazarte@trinityhealth I will get the codes for you. To correctly code this it is a MUST to read the notes specifically any and all cath selections to get there, access point, vessels embolized, etc.
 
code for maxillary artery embolisation since it is extracranial carotid artery branch
61626
75984

But you also have catheterization and imaging codes. I would guess 36217 and 75660 at least for the diagnostic angio, and a 75898 for post embolization angio if performed.
