The catheter is an apheresis catheter which was apparently inserted into the right femoral vein and the tip resides in the right common iliac vein, confirmed by fluoroscopy. I am only familiar with central venous catheterizations and PICC line insertions, which usually terminate in the right atrium. Can anyone advise on how to code the procedure I described, which does not terminate in the the atrium, but rather iliac vein?
---------------------
Also, do dual-lumen catheters require two codes? For example, when one terminates in the superior vena cava and other in the atrial junction?
Thanks
