I am slowly but surely becoming familiarized with the various heart catherizations and wanted some clarification on the below scenerio:
Balloon angioplasty primary with stenting of the right coronary arterly saphenous vein graft for a proximal critical stenosis of 90% or greater and a distal mid area just on the distal aspect of the valve which was about 85% stenosed. This was balloon angioplastied with the 2.0 x12 balloon followed by placement of a Xience 8 x 3.0 mm stent inflated to high pressures and resulted in negative residual stenosis and brisk flow.
would be above paragraph fit into the cpt 33967? If not what would be a scenerio that would fit into coding for CPT 33967. Thank you in advance for helping with my education and understanding of this code. Looking forward to many replies.
