Arteriovenous Fistula intervention with IVUS only

Date: Feb 4, 2020

Question:

The surgeon describes completing venoplasty in an arteriovenus fistula by direct access using IVUS as S&I. No angiogram/venogram was done. He used IVUS to diagnosis the stenosis in the AVF. Can I still use CPT code series 36901-36909?
