{{Discuss | who = Allan | question =
* 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
** If this code is not used in that process then the instruction/answer should be moved to the page for the one that is.
*AG REPLY --- TACE is essentially embolization, with the addition of infusion of chemo, of the hepatic artery.  See '''[[Occlusion]]''' for details about coding it.
Furthermore, the Angiogram CCI codes are ALL for diagnostic procedures, not therapeutic ones. }}
