Guys,
I don't see a temporary code for OCT for vessels other than coronary....do you know of any other temporary codes for this scenario?
Next over the 0.014 wire, the OCT system was advanced into the
left renal artery via the Flexor sheath, which was advanced to
the origin of the left renal artery with the aid of the Cobra
catheter and 0.035 Bentson wire. Multiple infrared interrogation
runs of the left main renal artery from peripheral branch point
to origin were performed. The catheter and sheath were then
removed and manual compression was applied until hemostasis was
achieved. A sterile occlusive dressing was applied at the site,
including Steri-Strips. There were no complications and the
patient left the IR Suite in stable condition. Dr. was
present for the entire procedure.
