Aortofemoral bypass graft angiography during left heart cath

Date: Nov 25, 2011

Question:

Dr. Z, Our physician did a aortofemoral bypass graft angiography during a left heart cath. He introduced a 4-French sheath over the guidewire using modified Seldinger technique in the aortofemoral bypass graft before engaging the left main coronary. He does have findings of angiography. Is there an appropriate CPT for the angio of the aortofemoral bypass graft? We are having difficulty in finding one. Thanks.
