Super saturated oxygen therapy using Zoll Therox System
Date: Dec 5, 2023
Question:
We have a patient that received a DES for an acute MI originating in the LAD. In the cath report after IVUS and stenting they state "Following this super saturated oxygen therapy was started with ZOll system for 1 hour. Following this the system was disconnected, sheath was removed and Angio-Seal closure device used." I cannot find any guidance about a CPT for this type of procedure. Is this oxygen therapy included in the MI stenting procedure or should I look at an unlisted code?
