TEVAR and “snorkel” or stents in visceral arteries
I need some help in coding a TEVAR snorkel procedure. Physician is billing for 33881 and placed a bilateral renal stent and a stent in the SMA 37236-50 and 37237. Can he also bill for catheter placement in the bilateral renal arteries and SMA with 36245-50 and 36245-59? I think he can but wanted a second opinion
Thank you

ERCP-multiple stents exchanged with one new placement
Hello there,
We have a case where 5 stents were exchanged in the common bile duct along with one new stent. So, a total of 6 new stents were placed. How should this be coded since it was all in the common bile duct? 43276×5 or 43274×6?
Thanks for your help!
