I have a patient that presented with MI (cath was done next day), a stent was placed in both the LAD & LC vessels, I would like to code 93454 Angiogram adn 92941 for PCI of acute MI, but how do I code for the additional vessel?

So I can code 92928 for additional stent placement with 92941...

Yes you can. I was confused about this code 92941 at first, but the way I understand it is usually you would only use this code for one vessel( the one which is involved in MI) and then the regular stent code for the next major vessel.
If you put a stent in the LC and LAD then you would report
92928 - LC
92928 - LD
You can report two the two stent as two main arteries
Additional branches would be if you put a stent in the left anterior descending and a stent in a diagonal off the LAD then you would code.
