|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | Deprecated Aorta and Femoral artery - bilateral CT angiogram W contrast IV | ||||
| status | DEPRECATED | ||||
| status reason | Ambiguous - The common aorta runoff CTA images the abdominal aorta and lower extremity vessels. But there is also a study for evaluation of axillary-bifemoral bypass grafts that images both the thoracic and abdominal aorta plus the lower extremity vessels. The Radlex/LOINC Committee is not aware of a protocol that stops at the femoral artery. This term was deprecated because it is ambiguous about which study it represents. | ||||
