* How would you code TACE transarterial chemoembolization for liver cancer via femoral artery to block hepatic artery ??old way I would code angio vascular/artery embolization/thrombus other/ and hi dose chemo now how do you code in CCI ? CCI angio of artery? plus Therapeutic intervention of artery Destruction?? Thanks SKiesman | * How would you code TACE transarterial chemoembolization for liver cancer via femoral artery to block hepatic artery ??old way I would code angio vascular/artery embolization/thrombus other/ and hi dose chemo now how do you code in CCI ?
