CRTP to CRTD with replacement of RV lead

Date: Aug 31, 2023

Question:

I have a patient who had:

Explant of CRT-pacemaker, laser lead extraction of RVlead, placement of RV ICD lead, placement of CRT-D and threshold testing. I believe I should use 33233 for the removal of CRT-P, 33231 for insert of CRT-D, 33234 for the RV lead removal by laser extraction and 93641 for the threshold testing. However, what would I use for the new RV lead insertion to the CRT-P?
