Would the following example be reported with codes 37252, 36200, and 34702? "The patient was intubated. She was prepped and draped. Under ultrasound guidance, the left common femoral was accessed. Two Perclose sutures were fired, and we placed a 7 French sheath. We did an angiogram. We placed an 18 French sheath. We did an angiogram, which revealed lobar renal arteries. We then advanced a 12 x 10 C-tag device and deployed it below the renal arteries. We then ballooned the middle and distal zones with a Q50 balloon. Completion angiogram showed excellent result exclusion of the aortic disease to ulcerations of the aorta. There was a small dissection noted in the left common iliac artery. We had a wire across the device across the native artery, so we went ahead and that by 8 x 56 _____ stent. Completion angiogram showed excellent result. The sheath was removed. The Perclose sutures were of admission, she had good pulses, which she did. She tolerated the procedure well."
