Procedure: Placement of temporary dialysis catheter
Summary: Patient is massively obese, there is no way I can go through her groin. She has a Port-A-Cath in her left chest. On the right side she has an old Cordis catheter which was used to introduce a Swan-Ganz, so what I did was removed the suture and placed a wire through the Cordis and removed the Cordis. Then dilator was placed over the wire and the triple lumen dialysis catheter placed over the wire and the wire removed.
Can someone help me with a CPT for this, please?
