Resolved Hot Axios stent

[ErnaV_2250]

Good day all ,
Can I ask some advice for the coding of: A Hot AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System to access the bile duct, gallbladder or a pancreatic fluid collection from the gastrointestinal tract and place the Hot AXIOS Stent and drain a pancreatic cyst?
43266 Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flexible, transoral; with placement of endoscopic stent (includes pre- and post-dilation and guide wire passage, when performed) +
43250 Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flexible, transoral; with removal of tumor(s), polyp(s), or other lesion(s) by hot biopsy forceps.
Any other suggestions ?

I found this article that offers a list of about 50 codes for these types of procedures.

And here is a pdf you may find helpful: https://www.bostonscientific.com/co...enting_Coding_and_Payment_Quick_Reference.pdf

Still looking for anything more specific.
