Which CPT codes would you use to code this report? I've never come across this before and I can't find a code that matches closely.


Under fluoroscopic guidance, a guidewire was placed through the
ileostomy into the ileoconduit. A 5 French dilator was
then passed over the wire. The ileal conduit was injected with
contrast.

The guidewire was replaced into the ileal conduit. A 12 French
pigtail catheter was then placed over the guidewire and
left within the ileal conduit.

Impression:
12 French pigtail catheter placed in ileoconduit as described above.


Thanks for any feedback you can provide!
