Aterial Procedure CPT Code

The arteries are blood vessels which supply blood to the tissues of the body taken from the heart. It contains oxygenated blood. The walls of arteries (muscular tube) are composed of smooth tissues having three main layers. The innermost layer is known as endothelium. Any problem in artery may lead to serious health conditions.

CPT Code For Temporal Artery Biopsy

Temporal artery is one of the main arteries of the head. It arises from the carotid artery. In temporal artery biopsy, a small section (including tissues) of artery is removed for the purpose of diagnosis. This procedure is performed under the CPT code 37609.

CPT Code For Arterial Line Placement

Arterial line placement is performed with a catheter over the wire (one piece). A puncture is made on the artery and to insert cannula at 45 degree angle for continuous motion. After seeing a flash of blood, the catheter is stabilized. This procedure is performed under the CPT code 36620.

CPT Code For Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

In coronary artery bypass grafting, a healthy artery (without any blockage) is grafted or placed in
place of blocked or partially blocked coronary artery. The healthy artery can be grafted from the arm, leg or any other part. The CPT code of this procedure is 33511.

Arterial Blood Gas CPT Code

Arterial blood gas is a diagnostic test that is performed to measure the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood along with acidity (pH). This test clearly measures how blood is becoming oxygenated while excreting carbon dioxide. The CPT code for this procedure is 82803.

Renal Artery Doppler CPT Code

Renal artery controls the supply of blood to the kidney. A Doppler test is performed to check the performance of renal artery. High frequency ultrasound waves are used to obtain inside imaging. It shows the narrowing of arteries. The CPT code for this test is 93975.

Carotid Artery Duplex Scan CPT Code

Duplex scan is also known as doppler scan. In this test, ultrasound high frequency waves are used to obtain internal imaging. The the carotid artery is the main artery which splits into two main arteries including temporal artery. The CPT code for carotid artery duplex is 93880.

Cta Carotid Artery CPT Code

CTA is the abbreviation of Computed Tomography Angiography. It is a diagnostic test that is performed to check the functioning of carotid artery. The procedure involves x-rays and computer technique to obtain the internal imaging of artery. The CPT code for this procedure is 70498.

Subclavian Artery Angiography CPT Code

Subclavian artery is the main artery that supplies blood to the thorax and neck, shoulders etc. The angiography of subclavian artery involves x-rays and computer technique to cross section and internal imaging. The procedure is performed under the CPT code 36225.

CPT Code For Ultrasound Guided Arterial Line Placement

The line placement in arteries can be performed under the guidance of ultrasound. The catheter is used and cannula punctures the artery for easy administration. The ultrasound helps to perform the procedure accurately by providing internal imaging. The CPT code is 76937.

Superficial Femoral Artery Angioplasty CPT Code

The femoral artery is the main artery supplying blood to the legs. If there is any blockage or narrowing of the artery, angioplasty is performed. In this technique, the arteries are widened and the blockage is removed. The CPT code for superficial femoral artery angioplasty is 37226- LT.

Uterine Artery Embolization CPT Code

In uterine artery embolization, there is an embolus stuck in the artery of the uterine blood supply. This embolus is removed with the help of a catheter. The catheter removes all the particles which block the artery. The CPT code of this procedure is 37210.
