Hello,
I am new to Cardiology and need help with the following scenario:
Procedures performed: LT Heart Catherization and Coronary LT Angiography
4 French sheath was inserted in the RT femoral artery.
The LT cardiac cath and coronary angiography was performed using a 4 french jl4,jr4, and a pigtail cath. The patient was given Versed and Fentanyl for sedation. The patient tolerated the PX well and was transferred to recovery. Selective peripheral angiography was performed by placing the cath from the RT common femoral artery to the left iliac vessel. Selective runoff was then performed on the LT as well on the RT side.
The codes I have is 93510 and 93545. I am not sure if I should use the 93555 instead of the 93545.
Thanks!
