Questions
The skin оver the left grоin wаs prepped аnd drаped in a sterile fashiоn and anesthetized with 1% Xylocaine. Through a right femoral artery access, a 5 French pigtail catheter was placed in the abdominal aorta and a run-off was performed following injection of 80cc of contrast. Oblique DSA images of the iliac circulation were performed following two injections, each 15cc.Findings: Abdominal aorta: no signs of renal artery stenosis. There is mild atheromatous change involving the lower abdominal aorta. There are two eccentric plaques arising from the distal aorta just above the iliac bifurcation. There are high-grade stenoses involving both proximal iliacs, the right far more pronounced than the left.The right superficial femoral, profunda femoral, popliteal arteries are normal. The trifurcation vessels are unremarkable.On the left, there is an eccentric plaque in the common femoral artery just below the catheter entrance site. This creates approximately 40-50% stenosis at this site. The remainder of the proximal femoral artery is normal. The trifurcation vessels and popliteal artery are normal. What CPT® codes are reported?
