Ask Dr. Z

Should I report the following with codes 36200, 34825, and 75953? Please advise. "The flush catheter was positioned in the proximal visceral segment of aorta. Aortography was performed. This identified some suggestion of a type 1 endoleak. Pre-close technique was used to fire two perclose devices in the right femoral artery and facilitate introduction of a 14 French sheath, which was done over a stiff Lunderquist wire after administration of systemic heparin to the therapeutic level. With the 14 French sheath in position, a 40 x 10 Palmaz stent was mounted onto a Coda balloon. This was advanced up to the level of the perirenal aorta, and the balloon mounted stent was then inflated and appropriately positioned."
