non-selective and selective catheterization same procedure

Hello! I'm relatively new to endovascular coding. I have a procedure where the surgeon entered through the right femoral artery and moved up to the aorta, coded a 36200 cath placement into the aorta and performed an aortogram(75625).However,he moved the catheter into bilateral renals and performed an angiogram (36252). He then moved the catheter to the contalateral femoral artery to perform revascularization. Since he moved the catheter from the aorta to the renals, it's my understanding that the 36200(non-selective) should not be coded once it becomes selective, is that correct? I am also getting an edit for the aortogram(75625) and the 36252. Is it correct coding to append modifier 59 to the 75625, or is that considered bundled with the renal angiogram? Thanks!

Richard
