In simple words: This procedure involves taking images of the heart's arteries and checking the pressure and blood flow on the right side of the heart using small tubes called catheters. Dye is injected to make the arteries show up clearly in the images.

This code represents a combined procedure involving both coronary angiography and right heart catheterization. It includes catheter placement in the coronary arteries for angiography, which involves injecting contrast material to visualize the vessels.Imaging supervision and interpretation are included.The procedure also involves right heart catheterization, including the introduction of a catheter into the right side of the heart to measure pressures and oxygen saturation levels. This code is used when both procedures are performed during the same session.

Example 1: A patient with suspected coronary artery disease and shortness of breath undergoes both coronary angiography to check for blockages and right heart catheterization to assess heart function., A patient presenting with chest pain undergoes this procedure to evaluate the coronary arteries for any stenosis and also to assess the function of the right side of the heart., A patient with a history of heart problems undergoes this combined procedure to determine the extent of coronary artery disease and evaluate the right heart's pumping ability.

Documentation should support the medical necessity of both the coronary angiography and right heart catheterization. Reports should include details of catheter placements, pressures, oxygen saturation levels, and interpretation of angiographic images.
