CPT 36251 and abdominal aortogram with iliac runoff

Date: Apr 3, 2018

Question:

Via right femoral access the doctor did an abdominal aortogram with bilateral renal and bilateral iliac runoffs. Then he placed the catheter in the right renal artery and did an angiogram. How do you code for the iliac runoff study? Is the aortogram included in code 36251? Can I use code 75630 with 36251? I code for the physician.
