LV lead in RV port
Date: Oct 15, 2018
Question:
Doctor implanted a dual chamber pacemaker including a coronary sinus pacing lead in the RV port and a right atrial pacing lead in the RA port. He chose to avoid the transvenous right ventricular lead due to the presence of a mechanical tricuspid valve. I thought it would be coded as 33208, but the doctor wants to code it as 33206 and 33225. How should this be coded?
