coding a right internal carotid & left common carotid
Cath was advanced to the aortic arch with angiography performed. It was then advanced into the right internal carotid artery. Selective angiograms were performed. And then it was advanced into the left common carotid artery where angiograms were performed.
I need help in coding this.
