Wiki Thoracic aortogram - what should the findings be

[suela923@aol.com]

I am so confused on the difference between a cervicocerbral arch and a thoracic aortogram. Just what should I see as the findings for a true thoracic aortogram?

Dr. Z does a nice job of describing code 36221 but seems a little fuzzy for the 75605.

Can anyone give me any tips of what to look for?

Thanks so much!
Sue

The lower thoracic aorta would needed to be described for 75605.
