Question:

I have a question regarding Fractional Flow Reserve performed in multiple vessels. Following angiography, an FFR is performed in the LAD, and then an FFR is performed in the 1st Diagonal Branch of the LAD. Can this be reported with 93571 and 93572? or does this procedure have the same rules as PTCA/Stents and is considered just one vessel for CPT coding purposes?
