Hoping someone can help me with angioplasty of an AV graft. I am getting confused regarding the central and peripheral zones.
The physician performed a balloon angioplasty of the axillary vein-AV graft junction and then placed a stent in the axillary vein-AV graft junction for persistent stenosis. He also did angioplasty of the subclavian vein.
Would I code 37205/75960 and 35476/75978 for the axillary vein-AV graft junction and also 35476/75978 for the subclavian vein or do you only code the 35476 once?
Thank you for your help!
