AAA Embolization with Onyx by Direct Translumbar Approach

Date: Dec 24, 2013

Question:

"Mid back was prepped. Expert CT was obtained of the aneurysm sac. Under CT guidance, a 21 gauge needle was used to access the aneurysm. Contrast infused and multiple images angio images obtained. Subsequently, 3 cc of Onyx was infused into the sac as the needle was pulled out. Needles removed." Any help you can provide with codes is appreciated. I believe this would be reported with unlisted code 37799 and 76380 CT? Not transcatheter based for 37204.
