Question:

Would you report codes 92928-LD and 92928-59LD for the following case? "Right femoral access: Stent to the LD with subsequent angio showing excellent results. Removed wires and started to close groin when patient went into cardiac arrest. Angio showed thrombosis of LD. Could not access left femoral for IABP. Had to pull wires from right to insert IABP. With chest compression and IABP support we were finally able to access left common femoral and place a stent across LD thrombosis."
