Bilateral Iliac Vein IVUS
Date: Dec 5, 2023
Question:
How would you code the following? Surgeon accesses right IJV, advances the sheath and performs a bilateral LE venogram. After diagnostic venogram, they proceed with intervention. Catheter is placed in IVC, then in RT CIV, LT CIV, RT EIV, LT EIV, RT common femoral vein and LT CFV; all with IVUS performed in each vessel. Compression is found in each vessel and measurements are documented. Surgeon decides to place stent in RT CIV, RT EIV and RT CFV. I am coming up with 37238-RT, 36012-RT, 37252, 37253x5, 75822-59.
