2020年1月28日 · The IVUS catheter was advanced into the IVC with measurements obtained and recorded during catheter retraction into the right common iliac vein, followed by the external iliac vein, and concluding with the common femoral vein (I would award 36010 and 37252, 37253x2 based off of this sentence). IVUS catheter was removed from the body.

2016年2月25日 · Philips 0.014 intravascular ultrasound catheter was flushed, prepped, and advanced it over the Phoenix wire to the mid left posterior tibial artery, pullback was performed, and images recorded. for the iliac artery intravascular ultrasound, the sheath was respectively pulled back to allow ultrasound images.

2002年4月1日 · IVUS is an imaging technique whereby an ultrasound transducer and a rotational mirror are mounted on a catheter tip, which is then inserted directly into the blood vessel. Images of the vessel's internal structure during cardiac catheterization, intervention (such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, PTCA), atherectomy or stent ...

2003年11月5日 · During an IVUS, the physician places a special ultrasound catheter in the vessel to visualize its structure. Although an intravascular ultrasound has obvious diagnostic applications, some carriers may be reluctant to pay for this study, restricting coronary ultrasounds for therapeutic procedures only or rejecting peripheral ultrasounds altogether.

2012年2月24日 · A 6-French CLS3 guiding catheter was advanced to the aortic root. Weight based heparin was administered. The CLS3 was used to engage the LMCA. A Runthrough angioplasty guidewire was used to cross the LMCA lesion with the distal segment of the wire advanced into the LAD. IVUS was then performed on it using a Volcano Eagle Eye Gold IVUS …

2021年6月30日 · Subsequently a Volcano digital IVUS catheter was advanced over the guidewire and intravascular ultrasound images of the caudal aspect of the inferior vena cava, right and left common iliac veins, right and left external iliac veins, right and left common femoral veins were obtained. Images were reviewed. FINDINGS:

Summary. In this add–on procedure, the provider inserts a specially designed catheter with an ultrasound transducer, a device that sends high–frequency sound waves through the tissues and detects their returning echoes to provide information about the underlying structures, into the vessel and examines its interior during a diagnostic or interventional therapeutic procedure, …

2019年7月15日 · The IVUS catheter was removed and an 16mm x 90cm Wallstent was advanced over the wire to the level of the iliac stenosis. The stent was deployed and postdilated to 18mm distally and 16mm proximally. Post angioplasty venogram confirmed excellent stent placement as well as improved luminal diameter with rapid through flow and decreased filing of ...

2016年5月10日 · IVUS Catheter was performed on the Right CIV. The balloon was inflated at 8 atm for 45 sec. Then, Venoplasty was performed on the Right CIV using xxl/16-6/5.8/75. The balloon was inflated at 8 atm for 45 sec. IVUS Catheter was performed on the IVC. Hemostasis: All wires, catheters, and sheaths were removed.

2023年5月4日 · Hello, can I bill IVUS 37252 with a stent -37221. "Intravascular ultrasound was performed on the iliofemoral system for proper sizing. The IVUS catheter was removed." Is this acceptable, if not what is needed? Or is IVUS bundled. I am getting conflicting information. Thank you in advance...
