Can some one help me code this procedure.. I am new to cardiology billing & totally confused with this one.
PROCEDURE: After informed consent was obtained from the patient, the patient was premedicated and brought to the cath lab where she was sterilely prepped and draped and locally anesthetized. The right femoral artery was cannulated using a Seldinger technique and 6-French Judkins inserted and, thereafter, abdominal aortogram, bilateral renal angiography, and right selective renal angiography was performed. Thereafter a wire was advanced into the right renal artery, or a LIMA catheter, as an RDC catheter did not sit well at the ostium. A PTA with a 4 x 15 mm balloon was performed followed by a 6 x 14 mm Express renal stent, deployed at 8 atmospheres (5.75 mm) with a 0% residual stenosis. The procedure was tolerated without complication. The StarClose device was deployed successfully.
FINDINGS
1. Abdominal aorta normal.
2. Right renal artery, 80% to 90% mid stenosis. PTA followed by 6 x 14 mm Express stent deployed.
3. Left renal artery patent.
PROCEDURES
1. Abdominal aortogram.
2. Selective right renal angiography.
3. Right renal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting.
