Hi Alicia,
The IR/Cath topics were for (1) AV Fistula intervention (Angiography with Balloon Angioplasty for the peripheral dialysis segment). It had US fluoroscopy guidance (which is included in CPT code). (2) US and fluoroscopy guided placement of power port in upper right chest via right jugular vein access to upper right atrium. (3) Mesenteric Angiogram (this is the one we went over in the meeting). (4) Iliac and Gastroduodenal Arteriography with embolization of the proximal gastroduodenal artery. For that one a retrograde right external iliac arteriogram also done, which I believe would not be coded since it was for verification. (5) G-tube placement via Kumpe catheter and fluoroscopic guidance (also included).
The YouTube video I mentioned stopped on me even with several tries I just checked it works fine. Must have been my internet connection.
Thank you for covering IR topic today and suggesting resources!
