cardiac fluoroscopy

We need help coding a cardiac fluoroscopy. The patient's diagnosis is rheumatic aortic stenosis and the report states:
Procedure: Fluoroscopy
'Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization Summary'-
Fluoroscopy in two views of prosthetic aortic valve demonstrates normal leaflet excursion of single disc of Medtronic-Hall Valve.

Any ideas on how to code this procedure?
Thanks.

cardia fluoroscopy

The report lists fluoroscopy only as the procedure during this session.
It was done in the cath lab but does not have any further description than what I put as the summary.
