i can give you the range of codes...more info is need to choose the correct one ...like was a left or right heart cath also performed? did they just look at the native vessels or did the patient have a previous history of CABG..

93454-93568

93454 is the appropriate code is there is no documentation of a heart cath.

If there is no heart cath documented..just coronary angiogram
The code will be 93454
