What is the correct coding for a percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery wtih insertion of stent and percutaneous transluminal coronary ballon angioplasty with atherectomy of the right coronary artery?
 
The 92980 LD is correct

The atherectomy, though, would be coded +92996-RC. You can't use two "initial" vessel codes. You have to use the additional vessel code for the atherectomy.

See CPT notes under 92980.
