Good morning--I have a question regarding Cardiac Catheterization report for PCI procedures if appending multiple anatomic modifiers allowed (LC, LD, LM, RC, RI) for individual PCI codes when multiple arterial vessels are involved--the report is as follows:

Access: USG guided RCFA. Mild disease (<30% stenosis) in Right iliac/femoral artery on groin shot.

Findings:
Right dominant system

1) Mild-moderate diffuse disease in LM with up to 30% stenosis (no pressure dampening on cannulation with 6Fr CLS guide catheter)
2) Prox LAD 60% stenosis. 100% occlusion of small caliber Distal LAD (diameter <2.25mm).
3) Ostial LCX 85% eccentric stenosis
4) 45% stenosis in prox RCA. 75% stenosis in mid RCA.


Thanks in advance!
 
Right now, all I see is the findings of a coronary angio. Was anything done to these vessels? As to what I see, something could be done to the LD, The LC probably would get a stent and RC could get a stent in the mid RC.
Yes, the vessel modifiers would get attached to what intervention is documented. Need more information on what was done.

Thank you, Jim. I was wondering if we are allowed to append more than one anatomic modifier to PCI codes.
