CTO with angioplasty only, no stent placed

Date: Mar 29, 2024

Question:

Successful IVUS-guided PTCA and recannulization of LAD CTO performed due to under-expanded stents. I spoke with the physician, and there was no intention of placing a new stent, just wanted to recannulate/open and expand existing stents in the artery. Would code 92920-22LD be appropriate? I'm trying to cover for the time spent on the CTO piece.
