I am coding a report for a patient who has two left renal arteries. The physician selectively engaged both the superior and inferior left renals as well as the single right renal artery and reported visualized findings on all three vessels.
Would the two left renal arteries be considered as the same or different vascular familes? Is it innapropriate to code three first order cath placement codes for this procedure?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori
