Can someone help me with the codes for the following op report please?

OPERATIVE PROCEDURE:1. Right femoral artery access under ultrasound guidance.2. Infrarenal aortogram with iliofemoral runoff and interpretation.3. Reposition of the catheter, with selective left superficial femoral arteriogram and interpretation.4. Left common femoral artery atherectomy.5. Left common femoral artery drug-coated balloon angioplasty with 7 x 80 mm drug-coated balloon (Medtronic).Pre-intervention totally occluded, post with 0% stenoses.6. Post-treatment left common femoral artery selective arteriogram, with distal runoff and interpretation.7. StarClose to the right femoral artery.

I think the correct codes are 37225, 75710-59, 26, 75626-26. But I am new to this area and no confident I am coding it correctly.

Thank you, Dawna Cornett, CPC, CPMA
 
I would not code 75625 as a full and complete Abdominal Aortogram was not performed. The renal arteries were not described.
