AV graft intervention, 36147

Date: Oct 7, 2010

Question:

Dr Z, I am a bit confused on all the changes with coding of dialysis grafts. What would be the correct codes for a declot of av graft with 2 access sites with one of the caths being advanced into the svc for intervention? What if there is only one access for a shuntogram and then the cath is advanced into the svc for intervention? Thanks for your help!
