Blank is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins and the heart chambers
Angiography or arteriography
A blank blank is a blank inserted by a needle stick into the skin. All catheters are hollow tubing that allow the passage of fluids into the body or permit the removal of excess bodily fluids through the catheter to the outside of the body to a proper disposal container. Percutaneous catheters must be inserted by skilled medical staff to prevent the contamination of the insertion site and also to ensure the proper placement of the catheter.
percutaneous catheter/catheter
Blank is a type of arterial disease which affects the extremities of the body, most commonly the legs. It is classified as a type of arteriosclerosis, because it is caused by a narrowing of the arteries resulting in decreased blood flow.
Peripheral artery disease
Percutaneous catheter placement into the right common femoral artery, with ipsilateral (right) angiography from the common femoral artery to the popliteal artery. Retrograde advancement of the catheter into the left common femoral artery to perform contralateral (left) angiography from the common femoral artery to the popliteal artery

Blank, or Acronym, refers to the failure of the heart to perform its main function: to pump blood throughout the body. It occurs when the flow of blood, or cardiac output, from the heart decreases, or fluids back up or "congest" within the heart, or both. Insufficient cardiac output can only be considered congestive heart failure if the heart is receiving enough blood in the first place. Blank is the eventual result of any number of numerous cardiac conditions that impede the heart's ability to pump blood. Therefore, it is a symptom of underlying disorders which require treatment.
Congestive heart failure, CHF
Blank is a condition in which the heart rate per minute is less than the usual sixty to one hundred beats common for adults. The lack of a sufficient amount of beats per minute can lead to a number of health issues, most of them related to less oxygen-rich blood being pumped to various points around the body. There are several health issues that may trigger bradycardia, most of which can be corrected without surgery.
Bradycardia
In the heart, a blank is one of two large chambers that collect and expel blood received from an atrium towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs
Ventricles
Replace single chamber pacemaker
Pacemaker, Heart, Upgrade, 33214
Insertion of a biventricular pacing system.
Insertion of pacing electrode, cardiac venous system, for left ventricular pacing at time of insertion of pacing cardioverter-defibrillator or pacemaker pulse generator (including upgrade to dual chamber system)(List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
Pacemaker, Heart, Insertion, Electrode 33225
ASHD
Blank refers to several diseases in which the arterial wall thickens and loses its elasticity. Commonly confused with atherosclerosis, which is the formation of plaques consisting of cholesterol and other substances on the arterial walls, blank is the thickening and stiffening of the artery walls from too much pressure. Atherosclerosis can lead to blank, which comes from the Greek for “hardening of the arteries.”
Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease (Coronary Heart Disease)
Blank is a procedure in which a surgeon takes a blood vessel, or a graft, and uses it to create another passage around a blocked area of an artery. This graft can be either a vessel harvested from another area of the patient or a graft made out of a synthetic material. Many times, blank is used to help restore blood flow in cases where peripheral artery disease (PAD) has obstructed blood flow to a leg. PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in a person’s arteries, causing it to become hard and to narrow. In such cases, blood flow can be reduced, and the tissues in the leg can starve and die.
Arterial bypass surgery
Blank is a bypassing or going around normal heart and lung function. It’s most often used during some heart surgeries or in other instances if heart and lung function are extremely poor. Many people known this procedure better by less formal terms, such as being on a heart lung pump, bypass, or machine.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
We harvested the left femoropopliteal vein (1) and used it for a graft from the aorta to the right coronary artery (RCA)
Harvesting, Lower Extremity Vein, (for vascular reconstruciton)

Blank is a medical treatment in which the blood is removed from the body and run through a filter to remove waste products before being returned to the body. This treatment is commonly used to treat people who are experiencing kidney failure, as normally the kidneys perform this function. Depending on the patient and the situation, blank may be performed on an emergency or long-term basis, and in the case of some long-term patients, it is possible to receive blank at home.
Hemodialysis
Vascular stenosis is a term used to describe the narrowing of blood vessels. Most less flexible, making it more difficult for blood to flow through.
Vascuclar stenosis
Patient has a transluminal angioplasty done on the right common iliac artery
37220
The surgeon advances the catheter to the left profundus femoris artery where an angioplasty with stent insertion is performed
37226
A catheter is inserted and advanced to the left popliteal artery. An occlusion is found and an angioplasty performed. The catheter is then advanced to the peroneal artery, here the vessel is almost completely occluded. An angioplasty is performed with stent insertion.

37224-51 (Angioplasty, Popliteal Artery, Intraoperative, 37224)
37230 (Angioplasty, Peroneal Artery, w/stent 37320)
37320 is listed first due to multiple tasks such as a stent placement.
51 is multiple procedures
Patient has significant occlusions in the common right tibio-peroneal and right anterior tibial arteries. An angioplasty is performed in both arteries with a stent insertion in the anterior tibial artery
37230, 37232
The right femoral artery is cannulated, a catheter is inserted and advanced to the left common iliac artery where balloon angioplasty is performed. The catheter is then advanced to the popliteal artery where angioplasty is also performed. The catheter is then placed in the anterior tibial artery where angioplasty with stent insertion is done. We then further investigated the peroneal artery and discovered another occlusion. Balloon angioplasty was completed with good result. No other occlusions were found and the catheter is removed.
