can I bill for more than the 92980 RC (additional stenting ?) can I bill for the filter wire (code?) Thanks
PROCEDURE:
PTCA/stent of the saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery plus
FilterWire plus a femoral angiogram.
After doing a cardiac catheterization, under sterile condition, after
informed consent, multiple stents were used and saphenous vein graft to
the right coronary artery was cannulized. FilterWire was passed across
the lesion and deployed. A 3.5 x 23 mm Xience drug-eluting stent was used
and placed at the site of the narrowing. It was post-dilated with 4.0 x
12 mm NC Voyager balloon. After this, the FilterWire was retrieved.
Guiding shots were taken. There were good angiograph results, lesion
greater than 90% to almost 0%.
During the procedure, IV Integrilin and IV Angiomax was used.
The patient will be given 300 mg of Plavix.
Femoral angiogram, contrast was injected through the sheath to evaluate
the femoral artery. There was no evidence of any dissection.
IMPRESSION:
Successful PTCA/stent of the saphenous vein graft to the right coronary
artery lesion, greater than 90%, improved to almost 0% to 10%.
