Bleeding after hysterectomy

Date: Apr 17, 2012

Question:

Dr. Z, At your Nov. 2011 conference, you said that we should not code for an angiogram with an embolization when the bleeding site was known. Specifically, you cited embolizing the uterine arteries post partum. Would that same thing be true for an embolization of the uterine arteries following a vaginal hysterectomy?
