Upgrade Dual PM to BIV PM with RV lead ext and insertion

Date: Oct 15, 2018

Question:

The patient came in with a dual pacemaker and was upgraded to a biventricular pacemaker with new LV lead (of course), but also had the old RV lead extracted and a new RV lead inserted. I am wondering what the codes would be for this procedure.
