Can someone please guide me on how to code cath reports? I am unsure.
Pt was prepped & draped in sterile fashion followed by lidocaine injection to anesthestize the tissues of the right groin. Access was gained to the right common femoral artery & a 4F Brite Tip Sheath was placed. An aortogram with run off was then performed using a 4F UF catheter which was placed in the distal aorta. The catheter was then advanced to the contralateral SFA and a left lower extremity angiogram was performed. The Brite Tip sheath and UF catheter were exchanged for a 6F 110 cm Cook sheath which was positioned with the tip at the level of the left popliteal artery. A VIPER wire was then advanced through the peroneal occlusion and elliptical atherectomy was then performed using 1.25 PREDATOR device followed by PTA using 2.5 x 120 mm and 3.0 x 100 mm SLEEK balloons serially. A 3.5 x 40 m SLEEK balloon was then used to dilate the popliteal artery. Final angiography reveals in line flow to the ankle vial the peroneal artery.
Thank you!
