Snorkel of Subclavian Artery

Date: Mar 14, 2014

Question:

The physician performed a TEVAR with coverage of left subclavian artery (open exposure to left brachial and right CFA) with an "added iCast stent in the left subclavian to achieve nice Snorkel technique hybrid type repair". No detail other than this sentence. "T" codes are gone, but they were for renal Snorkel. Is there a code for a subclavian Snorkel, or is it included in the "coverage of subclavian"?
