TIPS revision with plasty outside portal system

Date: Jan 7, 2022

Question:

Questioning procedures done outside the portal and hepatic veins during a TIPS revision - going with the same logic here when doing a thrombectomy in addition to revision - can we code cath placements along with angioplasties (or stent placements) if done in the splenic vein/SMV/IMV?
