How do you distinguish lower extremity vascular access selective versus nonselective with abdominal aortogram and lower extremity angiographies? When is it appropriate to code 75630 versus 75625 and 75710, or 75625 and 75716? If the catheter access is left femoral artery (LFA), it is advanced to aorta, then selectively right plus iliac artery and left plus iliofemoral artery. Can 36245 (REVISED IN 2012)-36259 be coded left plus iliofemoral artery and 36246 (REVISED IN 2012) for right plus iliofemoral artery?
