I think we need more information. 92980- LD is the code for stent placement. You may be able to bill any diagnostic procedures to determine the need for the stent. I have found most of the time when an injection of dye is performed after a cath. at the site of access it is done for placement of a closure device. If this is the case we just code for the placement of the device and not the angiography.
