Ask Dr. Z

What codes would I use for this procedure? "An oblique incision was cephalad to the skin crease in the right groin and carried down the subcutaneous tissue with electrocautery. Dissection was deepened to the level of the common femoral vein. The vein was exposed, including the area where the wire attached to the Cardizem and device was present. There was some bleeding around the access site. The vein was clamped proximal to the device and distally. Device was now completely retrieved. The defect in the common femoral vein was repaired using interrupted 5-0 Prolene sutures. Hemostasis in the field was completed. There was good hemostasis at the suture line and in the field. Irrigation was performed. The subcutaneous tissue was closed using a 3-0 Vicryl in a running fashion, and the skin was closed using a 4-0 monocryl subcuticular suture. Dermabond and a dressing were applied to the wound."
