Ask Dr. Z

Would the following support billing 37228-53 and 37232-53 (since the arteries were entered, but there was nothing able to be completed)?

"I then entered the posterior tibial artery with selective posterior tibial angiography. I was able to cross the lesion distally to the ankle mortise however there is no distal reconstitution that I could revascularize to. No further intervention performed on the posterior tib. I then did the same thing on the anterior tib. Entered the vessel. Performed angiography tertiary, and traversed the lesion down to the ankle mortise however there is no distal reconstitution that would allow for outflow revascularization. No intervention was performed."
