Use CPT code 93541 or other appropriate right heart catheterization code (93543, 93456, 93457, 93460 or 93461) when right heart catheterization is done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory or in an interventional radiology laboratory and the procedure is done as part of a formal cardiac catheterization study.
Measurement: While this root operation is in the medical and surgical-related section, it is the choice for cardiac catheterization procedures. With cardiac catheters—right, left, or both—there are additional procedures including coronary angiography and left ventriculography, which are coded separately.

The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart.
CPT Description 93453 Combined right and left heart catheterization including intraprocedural injection(s) for left ventriculography, imaging supervision and interpretation, when performed 93452; 93454-93461 Various descriptions – see Page 2.
Use CPT code 93541 or other appropriate right heart catheterization code (93543, 93456, 93457, 93460 or 93461) when right heart catheterization is done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory or in an interventional radiology laboratory and the procedure is done as part of a formal cardiac catheterization study.
Code 93453 includes all left heart catheterization components, including the function of the mitral valves, aortic valves, and aortic valve regurgitation. For right and left heart catheterization with coronary angiography, refer to 93460. For bypass graft angiography, use 93461 (description follows).
0 for Cardiac catheterization as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Complications of medical and surgical care .
Right heart catheterization measures pressure in your right atrium, right ventricle and pulmonary artery. Left heart catheterization measures pressure in your left ventricle, assesses your aorta and aortic valve, and checks your coronary arteries for blockages.
It appears that if physician performs a LHC including inj/interp of angios and LV than 93458 would be used and 93452 will be used only when the physician performs an LV with no angio of coronaries or is this backwards. I am pulling my hair out regarding these two codes what they would be replacing.
Code 93458 actually includes all the verbiage that's in code 93454 PLUS the "with left heart catheterization including intraprocedural injection(s) for left ventriculography, when performed".
Overview. Cardiac catheterization (kath-uh-tur-ih-ZAY-shun) is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is guided through a blood vessel to the heart to diagnose or treat certain heart conditions, such as clogged arteries or irregular heartbeats.
CPT codes for cardiac catheterization CPT code 93451 – Right heart catheterization. CPT code 93452 – Left Heart Catheterization.
Selective catheterization codes are determined by how far they are from the aorta or the vessel catheterized. First-order catheterization codes 36215 and 36245 are used when the catheter only goes into an artery that comes directly off the aorta or vessel catheterized.
What are the three components of cardiac catheterization reporting? Placement of catheter, injection, and imaging. invasive diagnostic medical procedure for treatment of the electrical conduction system of the heart.

93460 involves a left and right heart catheterization, while 93458 involves only an LHC. 93454 does not involve a catheterization, but instead simply a closure device angiography. Make sure you don't code any closure devices separately, as they are included in this code.
CPT® 93451, Under Cardiac Catheterization and Associated Procedures. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 93451 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Cardiac Catheterization and Associated Procedures.
CPT® Code 93459 in section: Catheter placement in coronary artery(s) for coronary angiography, including intraprocedural injection(s) for coronary angiography.

Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that allows the doctor to see how well your blood vessels supply your heart. This process is used to diagnose and treat certain cardiovascular conditions.
