External Iliac angiograms

Date: Feb 21, 2019

Question:

In 2016 (question ID #7569), you suggested utilizing 75716 for the angio of the external iliacs that supply the legs. My question is, if the portion of the external iliac that supplies the pelvic region is selected and imaged, and the impression has no extremity findings (only inferior epigastric artery impressions), would I code as a pelvic angio?
