PVC ablation, originating from the anterior Mitral annulus

Date: Nov 17, 2023

Question:

Based on the description below, are the following codes correct: 93654, 93462, 93662)? 

"Right femoral venous access was obtained; catheter was advanced to the R atrium & ablation catheter was introduced into the R atrium to create geometry, then advanced to the SVC, transseptal access was obtained under ICE guidance; the PVC was mapped & localized to the anterior mitral annulus, lesions were successfully made."

The list of procedures performed indicates the doctor performed R & L ventricular pacing & recording, but when I read the report I can not find any reference to the ventricles. Any help you can give is appreciated.
