CPT® Code 75880

The procedure described by CPT® Code 75880 refers to a venography of the orbital region, which is a specialized imaging technique used to visualize the veins surrounding the eye. In this procedure, a physician performs a catheter insertion into the vein responsible for draining blood from the eye. This is typically done to assess venous conditions or abnormalities that may affect ocular health. Once the catheter is in place, a contrast dye is injected through it into the veins. This dye enhances the visibility of the venous structures during imaging. Following the injection, the physician captures X-ray images to examine the flow of blood and identify any potential issues such as blockages, thrombosis, or other vascular anomalies. The radiological supervision and interpretation are critical components of this procedure, as they ensure accurate diagnosis and assessment of the venous system in the orbital area.
