TAVR Valve embolized after in position

Date: Oct 25, 2021

Question:

A patient had a TAVR procedure (percutaneous TF access 33361). The valve was embolized after in position. The patient was taken to the OR for a valve replacement. I think the cardiac surgeon could possibly bill code 33405 for the surgical portion. For the TAVR procedure, I'm not sure what the interventional cardiologist could bill for. Possible 33361 with a modifier or maybe something different?
