Is cannulating the braciocephalic trunk a first order selective cath placement?
After coronary angiogram was obtained documentation states:
"The no-torque wire was used to cannulate the right braciocephalic trunk for which a DSA of the right carotid artery was obtained. The no-torque wire was then placed in the transverse aorta, pointed into the left common carotid where DSA of the left carotid arteries were obtained."
Do I code for 1st order cath placement? 36215?
