This patient has a recent history of abdominal pain, postprandial, and noninvasive studies have found SMA occlusion and celiac artery stenosis.
*
He had attempted opening of the celiac artery from the left brachial approach recently which was unsuccessful due to severity of the stenosis and heavy calcification at the celiac ostium.
*
He now returns for planned left common femoral access retrograde engagement of the celiac artery and attempt at angioplasty and stenting
*
After obtaining informed consent for the patient a 6 French sheath was placed into the left common femoral vein under fluoroscopic guidance. A renal double curve 65 cm 6 French guiding catheter was then positioned into the aorta and aortography was performed. This catheter was then selectively placed into the ostium of the celiac and celiac artery selective angiography was performed. A 0.014 wire was then advanced into the distal branch, angioplasty was performed with a 4 mm balloon followed by placement of a single balloon expandable Boston Scientific stent, 6 mm x 18 mm, the stent was then postdilated to 18 atm with a 7 mm balloon for a final lumen between 7.5 and 8 mm. Gradient resolved and angiographic result was excellent.
*
Iliofemoral angiography revealed the sheath in the common femoral artery and closure was obtained with manual compression, no closure device was utilized. Patient was given 4000 units of heparin at the initiation of the intervention, activated clotting time at the end of the case was 176 seconds.
*
*
Diagnostic angiography:
*
Abdominal aortography revealed known patent renal arteries, ostial stenosis of the celiac, occlusion of the SMA.
*
Selective angiography of the celiac revealed ostial stenosis with a 60 mm gradient across the stenosis, beyond the proximal segment and ostium of the vessel was patent. Lateral stent fill the SMA with backfilling to the most proximal 1-2 cm from the origin at the aorta
*
*
*
Intervention:
*
As detailed above balloon expandable stent treatment was performed of the celiac stenosis, after balloon angioplasty, provisional stenting was performed due to recoil and dissection with excellent hemodynamic and angiographic result
*
*
*
Summary conclusion:
*
Celiac artery stenosis and known SMA occlusion with symptomatic mesenteric ischemia
*
Successful angioplasty of celiac artery stenosis with provisional stent placement excellent angiographic result.
*
*
Recommendation:
*
Patient will continue on antiplatelet therapy and close surveillance and follow-up. He is on long-term anticoagulation which is to be restarted in 48 hours.

You already have a previous diagnostic exam, so you can't bill 75726. All you have is 37246.
