Ablation Superior & Inferior Vena Cava & Coronary Sinus

Date: Dec 21, 2018

Question:

"Patient had a previous PVI performed over 6 months ago for I48.0. Since patient was still having symptoms, he was brought back in again for EP study and RF ablation for electrical isolation of superior vena cava and inferior vena cava with additional ablation of coronary sinus (where fractionated electrocardiograms were detected in the distal region). ICE was performed with transseptal cath and 3D mapping, as well as treatment with IV Isoproterenol. A deflectable decapolar catheter was positioned in the coronary sinus. This was used for pacing and sensing from the left atrium." Would this procedure be reported with codes 93653, 93621, 93662, 93462, 93623, and 93613?
