Percutaneous ethanol sclerotherapy of vascular malformation
Date: Oct 6, 2021
Question:
Will you please clarify which code should be used for percutaneous ethanol sclerotherapy of a vascular malformation of the face? There is some confusion between appropriate usage of 61626 (which specifies head/neck) and 37241. No catheter was placed, just an injection of ethanol from a small needle.
