Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The left ventriculogram is a diagnostic imaging procedure that involves the injection of contrast agent into the left ventricle, and it is reported using the root operation "Imaging" and the body part "Left Ventricle" in ICD-10-PCS. The correct code for this procedure is B215YZZ. The other codes listed are not appropriate for reporting a left ventriculogram with coronary artery.
