Hello
Can someone help me with the following cardiology case?
Patient presents to the Cardiac Cath lab with known diagnosis of arteriosclerotic heart disease. He has no previous history of heart surgery. The following procedures were performed: Percutaneous transluminal coronary atherectomy with balloon angioplasty of the left circumflex coronary artery and percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty involving the left descending coronary artery.
 
Hi Samantha,

For above scenario we can code CPT 92924-LC Atherectomy and Angioplasty for Left Circumflex and CPT 92920 - LD for Let decending coronary artery. Both arteries are different main branches.
