right external iliac artery

Date: Feb 5, 2021

Question:

I am needing clarity as to coding the catheter placement in right external iliac. The provider accessed from the right common femoral artery and catheterized SMA and then he catheterized right external iliac. Would we code 36245 (SMA) and 36140 for external iliac?
