Question:

Hello! I am unsure if I can bill more than 1 set of 37204 & 75894-26 for the embolization part of this procedure. Also, an Amplatzer plug was used in internal iliac. I am OK with the cath placements. Dx: Growing AAA with a type II endoleak from multiple inferior lumbar arteries from different sources. 1. Coil embolization of a lateral lumbar and pelvic artery with the source coming from the internal iliac artery branch with a shared vascular supply from the contralateral internal iliac and coil embolization of 3mm Tornado and 5mm Tornado coils for a total of 5 coils. 2. Selective cath of an ascending lumbar artery and insertion of 0.75cc of NBCA embolization glue. 3. Selection of the origin of the right internal iliac artery and deployment of a 16mm Amplatzer plug to the right common internal iliac origin. Thank you,
