CPT add on code 93567 – Supravalvular aortography in conjunction with 93451 & 93452

The table in 2019 CPT Professional does not have an X indicating 93567 may be reported in conjunction with 93451 but does for 93452.

The guidelines under 93567 indicate to use 93567 in conjunction with 93451-93461, 93530-93533.

I’m assuming the guidelines trump the table.

Did something change on this in the last few years? I couldn’t find anything in CPT Errata. Thanks.

93451 or 93456 (with 93568). Does selective imaging imply the coronary angiography?

75-year-old patient with worsening shortness of breath and chest pain. Via a right brachial access, the catheter is advanced to the left coronary artery with selective imaging of the left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries. The catheter is then placed in the right coronary artery. The right coronary artery is normal. The left ventricle could not be entered due to the presence of a mechanical valve replacement. A flow directed catheter is then advanced into the right ventricle, right atrium and pulmonary artery, with wedge pressure performed. Contrast is selectively injected in the main pulmonary artery with angiography performed. The catheter is removed and pressure held for hemostasis.

Does the term selective imaging imply the coronary angiography?

93451, with 93568?

OR

93456, with 93568?

Thank you!
