Common/Cervical Carotid Thrombectomy and Stent for Occlusion
Date: Feb 28, 2024
Question:
The provider is doing thrombectomy and stent placement with emboshield in the left common carotid artery to the cervical internal carotid artery for occlusion as patient had a stroke. There is no mention of stenosis at all. I am thinking 37184 and 37799 but greatly need you help to know what would be correct. I believe cath placement would be included in 37799, if that is correct (it was femoral approach). Thank you!!!
