Official Description

Injection procedure during cardiac catheterization; for pulmonary angiography

© Copyright 2026 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Common Language Description

The CPT® Code 93541 refers to an injection procedure specifically conducted during a cardiac catheterization for the purpose of pulmonary angiography. This procedure involves the strategic placement of a catheter into the pulmonary artery, which is a major blood vessel responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Once the catheter is correctly positioned, a contrast medium is injected through it. This contrast agent enhances the visibility of the pulmonary vessels on imaging studies. The primary goal of this procedure is to visualize the pulmonary vasculature, allowing for the assessment of any abnormalities or conditions affecting these blood vessels. The angiograms obtained during this process are crucial for diagnostic purposes and can provide valuable information regarding the health of the pulmonary circulation.
