Hello all,
Anyone have a recommendation of coding for this:
93460-26 and aortogram, but what would I code for Aortic and Mitral valve study?
PROCEDURES PERFORMED:
1. Selective left and right coronary angiogram.
2. Left heart catheterization.
3. Right heart catheterization.
4. Aortic valve study with Langston dual-lumen catheter.
5. Mitral valve study.
6. Ascending aortogram looking at aortic regurgitation.
I have left out the straightforward left/right heart cath.
AORTIC VALVE STUDY:
Using the TIG catheter, we were able to cross the aortic valve
and exchanged for a long exchange J wire. A 6-French dual-lumen
Langston catheter was used. The aortic valve area was 1.49 cm2
with mean gradient of 11 mmHg.
MITRAL VALVE STUDY:
Using simultaneous ____ with right heart and Langston catheter,
we were able to get a mitral valve area of 1.9 cm2 with a mean
gradient of 9.1 mmHg.
