Cardiology

Our interventional cardiologist deployed a bare-metal stent within the LAD and performs angioplasty within both the LC coronary artery and the RCA. How would we code this?

Our interventional cardiologist performed a PTCA in the LAD, an atherectomy in the RCA, and placed a drug-eluting stent in the left circumflex artery (LC). How would we code for this?

Can you tell me more about what is included in 0643T?

What code would I report for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with recurrent coarctation of the aorta?

Our cardiologist first performed a diagnostic left heart catheterization, followed by selective injections into the left ventricle and coronary arteries. Next, separate and discrete PCI was performed on the following vessels: Right coronary artery DES, Diagonal PTCA, Branch 1 of diagonal PTCA, and Branch 2 of diagonal PTCA. Do you know how we would code for this?

Can you report 0644T when cardiopulmonary bypass is performed in conjunction with percutaneous intracardiac mass removal?

What is included in 0644T?

How would you code the following scenario? An interventional cardiologist performs a percutaneous left heart catheterization, then selective injections of the left ventricle and coronary arteries for diagnostic purposes followed by mechanical thrombectomy of the LAD artery with subsequent drug eluting stent placement in the LAD.

What code do I report for transcatheter ventricular restoration device implantation ?

How would you code this scenario? An interventional cardiologist performs a PTCA in the LAD artery. The physician also performed angioplasty in the diagonal side branch of the patient’s LAD during the same session.

Can injection procedure codes 93563-93568 be reported in conjunction with one another?
