Melody Valve with Separate Stent in RPA

Date: Jan 18, 2021

Question:

How would you approach a case where a stent for stenosis is placed in the right pulmonary artery during the same session as a Melody valve placement? It doesn't appear that the two areas overlap. If stent placement is separately reportable, how should we handle a catheter placement code?
