CPT® Code 93542

Deleted

The CPT® Code 93542 refers to an injection procedure conducted during cardiac catheterization specifically for selective right ventricular or right atrial angiography. This procedure involves the use of a catheter that is strategically positioned within the right side of the heart, allowing for the administration of contrast media. The primary purpose of this injection is to visualize the anatomy and function of the right ventricle and/or right atrium through angiography, which is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays to view the heart's blood vessels. The contrast media enhances the visibility of these structures, enabling healthcare professionals to obtain detailed images that can assist in diagnosing various cardiac conditions. This procedure is typically performed in conjunction with a cardiac catheterization, which is a broader procedure that may include other diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. It is important to note that this code is distinct from CPT® Code 93543, which pertains to similar procedures involving the left side of the heart.
