A 58-year-old male is undergoing a therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The gastroenterologist injects the contrast agent, and using fluoroscopy views the hepatobiliary system, collects specimens for testing, and places a biliary stent to relieve the patient's jaundice. Select the appropriate CPT and ICD-10-CM codes.

43274 is the correct CPT code for an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with stent placement. 74330 is not a valid CPT code; it seems to be a typographical error in the question options, but for the context of ERCP, fluoroscopy is included in the ERCP procedure code and not separately billed, so the focus should be on the ERCP code itself. R17 is the correct ICD-10-CM code for jaundice, unspecified, which matches the patient's symptom described in the scenario.
