*This code is for a formal right heart catheterization done by cardiology in the cardiac cath lab -- for the purpose of measuring right-sided pressures and RV function. | |||
*Note that this is different from '''[[Swan-Ganz (Pulmonary Artery Flotation) Catheter placement]]''' | |||
Includes: right heart cath done for pressures and C.O. | Includes: right heart cath done for pressures and C.O. | ||

* Do we need this cci code? We already have the CCI code: [[Angiogram, coronary (diagnostic cardiac catheterization)]].

*AG REPLY --- sorry this was ambiguous. I meant this code for a diagnostic right heart cath done in the cath lab [i.e. not including Swan-Ganz catheterization, which is a new code I'm asking Tina to make. | |||
**TINA -- can we change the name of this to "Right heart catheterization, in cardiac cath lab" | |||
**Note I've written text here to support that usage of this code}} | |||
