NIPS with Isuprel
Date: Aug 6, 2018
Question:
"We brought a patient to the electrophysiology lab for a potential ablation of VT due to multiple appropriate ICD shocks. A NIPS was performed through the patient's dual chamber ICD. The induction of VT or clinically significant PVCs was attempted. Isuprel was infused. No clinically significant rhythm was induced. Procedure was stopped." We rarely do non-invasive studies here. Is this considered a typical NIPS study? Is Isuprel included? Would 93642 be appropriate, or how would you code this?
