Question: Peripheral Angiography with a Cardiac Cath
Left heart catheterization is ordered for a patient with unstable angina. The Op report states that the patient also has a small ulcer on the foot, a history of atherectomy of the SFA, and reassuring ABI. Catheterization is performed via a right radial artery access. Subsequently, the catheter is moved down to right common femoral artery where runoff of the right leg with digital subtraction at 2 levels is performed. CFA is normal and arthrectomy site is patent. Would this be coded 93458, 36247, 75710?
