Hi...I am at a loss with this case: Right upper extremity angio, 75710-26, and balloon and stenting of the right brachial artery. Would I use 37205? 37221 is for the illiacs, 37226 for femoral, and 37230 for tibial...where does the brachial artery fall? I really need help with this!! thanks Sandy

Yes, use 37205 and 75960 for the stent, also use 36217 for catheter placement.
