Date: Jan 9, 2019

Question:

The physician did not do a cath but performed angiogram of ascending aorta, selective angiogram of central shunt, and selective angiogram of LPA. Then physician performed angioplasty of the central shunt and angioplasty of the RPA. What CPT codes would I use here? I know the 92997 for RPA, but unsure about the rest.
