Can someone please explain if this should be a 93458 or 93460....

Right radial artery was cannulated using a Seldinger technique, 6-French sheath was introduced. Next, using a Tiger catheter, we selectively engaged the left main coronary artery. Cineangiography was recorded in multiple views. Next, using a multipurpose catheter we selectively engaged the right coronary artery. Cineangiography was recorded in multiple views. Next the Jacky Catheter was used to engage the LV cavity, LV pressure measured. LV-gram was done. Pullback gradiaent across the aortic was done and recorded.

Please help, I am new to Cardiology coding!
 
93458 LHC + CORS

93460 includes BYPASS GRAFTS, and from reading, your doc did not inject or view them. So I would go with 93458

All the best.... you will get the hang of it :)
