37191 is now a bundled code. See below:
37191 Insertion of intravascular vena cava filter, endovascular approach including vascular access, vessel selection, and radiological supervision and interpretation,intraprocedural roadmapping, and imaging guidance(ultrasound and fluoroscopy), when performed
In 2011, you report IVC filter placement with 36010 (Introduction of catheter, superior or inferior vena cava for catheterization), 37620 (Interruption, partial or complete, of inferior vena cava by suture, ligation, plication, clip, extravascular, intravascular [umbrella device]), and 75940 (Percutaneous placement of IVC filter, radiological supervision and interpretation). Because 37191 includes all of these elements, CPT® 2012 deletes the IVC-specific codes 37620 and 75940.
37619 Ligation of inferior vena cava In 2011, you report IVC filter placement with 36010 (Introduction of catheter, superior or inferior vena cava for catheterization), 37620 (Interruption, partial or complete, of inferior vena cava by suture, ligation, plication, clip, extravascular, intravascular [umbrella device]), and 75940 (Percutaneous placement of IVC filter, radiological supervision and interpretation). Because 37191 includes all of these elements, CPT® 2012 deletes the IVC-specific codes 37620 and 75940.
37620 Interruption, partial or complete, of inferior vena cava by suture, ligation, plication, clip, extravascular, intravascular (umbrella device) Deleted

I hope this helps
