Wiki Opening a Blocked Milk Duct

[Arneson1]

One of our OB physicians opened a block milk duct, under sterile conditions, with a sterile needle and emptied the duct via vigorus massage. He's looking for a procedure code, not an E/M. I don't see any documentation of aspiration so I have ruled out FNA. Any other suggestions? TIA
