Abdominal Aortogram and selective extremity arteriogram

Date: Aug 12, 2014

Question:

I have documentation of catheter placement at the infrarenals and the only impression is that of aneurysm and then movement of the catheter contralateral into extremtiy and ateriogram and impression of that entire extremity. Should the coding be 75630 and 75710 (with 59) or 75630 and 75774? I have no indication as to why they went selectively after the abdominal aortogram.
