Attempted CTO Intervention, 92920 or 92943-52

Date: Sep 17, 2018

Question:

A patient was brought in for planned intervention on CTO of mid right coronary. Attempts were made, but it was unable to be crossed. However, the physician was able to angioplasty the proximal right coronary. Should this be billed as 92920-RC or 92943-52? I do not think billing both would be allowed since they are the same artery.
