Venogram, Venacavogram
Date: Nov 25, 2014
Question:
RT groin, under ultrasound guidance, RT common femoral vein accessed. a vascular sheath was advanced over a guidewire. then advanced in the rt external iliac vein with venogram. next, using a catheter the confluence of the bilateral iliac veins were catheterized w/subsequent inferior venacavogram. next cath was advnced beyond the area of narrowing along the infrarenal IVC and a ssuperior venacavogram was done. At this point all cathes and wires were removed. The codes I think should be 36011, 75825-26, 75827-26 and 75822-26
