My provider documented:
"Using a 6 Voda 4 guiding catheter, we were able to engage the left main coronary artery. Through a flexible guidewire we were unable to cross the 100% OMB stenosis. Further attempt is aborted."
Can I code for the attempt at crossing the lesion with the guidewire or is it only appropriate to code when the provider is attempting to cross the lesion with a balloon?
