Lingual Vein

Date: Mar 7, 2019

Question:

I have a pediatric congenital case where the pulmonary arteries were looked at, and in the body of the report it has an angiography of the lingual vein with findings documented as: "There is a stenosis that has a 10 mmHg gradient into this branch with a narrowing measuring 3.8 mm proximally and 5.1 mm distally." What CPT code would be used to report the angiography for the lingual vein?
