My note states, ...Catheter was advanced to the takeoff of the left subclavian and left subclavian angiography was performed... There was narrowing of the ostium of the left vertebral and the catheter was brought up to the takeoff of this vessel to get good injections of the left vertebral artery with hand injection.....
My question is this:
If the documentation states "at the takeoff", is this a selective catheter placement or would it be considered non-selective?
I know that when it is documented "at the level of" it is nonselective, but this verbage is confusing to me. I am hoping someone can help me clarify it.
Thank you so much!
