Rt Heart Cath vs Lt Heart

Date: Mar 15, 2023

Question:

Which is the best way to identify on the cath report if it is a right or left cath or both? I do know that if they enter through the artery or vein, but which is the best way to educate someone else on how to identify for coding purpose? I ask this question because the documentation is not the greatest.
