Hello:
Please suggest codes for below documentation.
CPT

The in situ nephrostomy tube was injected with contrast
demonstrating its position within the left renal pelvis. The
nephrostomy was exchanged over a 7-French sheath over a stiff
wire. Using a combination of a 4-French Bernstein catheter and a
Glidewire access was gained into the bladder. The Glidewire was
exchanged for an Amplatz wire. The double-J ureteral stent 24 cm
long was then advanced and deployed forming the pigtail is in the
bladder and left renal pelvis. The sheath was removed.
Conclusion: Placement of a 24 cm left ureteral stent. Removal of
the nephrostomy.
