Dilate L Axilla Vn w Cel Impermabl Dev , Perc, New Tech 11

This code describes a procedure involving the widening of the left axillary vein using a specialized, cell-impermeable device placed inside the vessel. This intervention is performed through the skin (percutaneously) and represents a novel technology within a specific grouping.

This code is appropriate for procedures where a patient presents with a stenosis or occlusion of the left axillary vein requiring angioplasty, and a new technology, cell-impermeable intraluminal device is utilized for the dilation. This may be seen in cases of venous thoracic outlet syndrome, central venous obstruction, or prior to the creation of an arteriovenous fistula requiring improved venous outflow.

• Verify that the documentation explicitly states the use of a "cell impermeable intraluminal device" and specifies "New Technology Group 11."
• Confirm the approach was percutaneous and the specific vein dilated was the left axillary vein.
• Do not use this code for dilation of other veins or if a different type of intraluminal device (e.g., a standard stent) was used.
