Distal Aortogram

Date: Jul 27, 2014

Question:

"Procedures Performed: 1) Left groin access under ultrasound guidance. 2) Bilateral lower extremity angiography with distal aortogram. 3) PTA and atherectomy of right CFA and proximal SFA. 5) Intra-arterial nitroglycerin and Mynx device closure for left groin. 6) Selective catheter placement in the right CFA and angiography." I reported this with codes 76937, 75716-59, 37225, 36247-59, 37202, and 75896. I am not sure about distal aortogram. What code should I use for it?
