If there is a causal relationship, can you please provide the documentation.

I am needing to know the correct diagnosis coding for this scenario
Patient presents with chest pain A heart cath is done with stenting of one artery Final diagnosis is cad (native), nstemi and acs One coder in our facility says that, along with the i21.4 for the nstemi, the cad must be.
