Add on 75774 with catheter movement in same vessel

Date: Sep 12, 2022

Question:

Can we add a 75774 to an aortogram when catheter movement does not advance into a smaller vessel, but is just moving within the aorta (e.g., to get a better look at something visualized in the initial study)? Left femoral access into supraceliac aorta (36200) with findings seen there as well as in iliacs, SMA, IMA, and right renal (75625). Cath advanced into terminal aorta to more closely evaluate right renal. Can we add a 75774 here?
