non selective suprarenal aortography

If the dictation states:
Nonselective suprarenal aortography with pigtail positioned above the renal arteries and runoff to the aortoiliac bifurcation, and, nonspecific lower extremity angiographic runoff to the feet using DSA with pigtail positioned just above the aortoiliac bifurcation in the infrarenal aorta, can I code 36245 as well as 75625 and 75716?
I am new to this peripheral coding and it is going to make me gray before my time.
Any help would be appreciated

Thank you,

re: non selective suprarenal aortography

I do not see a "selective" catheter placement. Non-selective into aorta is 36200, followed by codes 75625-26, 75716-59-26
