MD writes that he did an "abd angio with bil runoff", but I dont see anything in this report that supports a abd angio....only bil lower ext. Please help:
Report:
After obtaining arterial access, a 5 French pigtail catheter was advanced to the bifurcation where 40 ml at 20ml/second were injected opacifying nicely the right iliofemoral system. The right common iliac, external iliac, and common femoral appeared to be patent. Th common femoral bifurcated to a well developed profunda and a patent SFA with mild irregularities, nonobstructive in its mid section. The pt appeared to have widely patent, popliteal above and below the knee; but appeared to have very slow flow with runoff to the ankle with mostly distal disease below the bifuraction.
The 2nd injection of 20 ml of contrast at 18ml a second was perfomred once again opacifying the left liliofemoreal system....(and he goes on to describe the left side and places a stent.....)
Another coder in the past has coded 75625,75716, plus stent...but I dont think the ABd angio should be coded.
Please help?
