Subclavian venogram prior to CRT-D Upgrade

Date: Sep 18, 2020

Question:

An inpatient patient had a subclavian venogram performed a few days prior to a CRT-D upgrade. Patient was brought to the cath lab, and a venogram was done to assess for subclavian patency several days before the upgrade was performed. Would this be reported? Typically it is included in the procedure, but unsure if this can be captured if done prior.
