Iatrogenic Dissection
Date: May 6, 2024
Question:
Physician was performing a TAVR, and on the way out there was a "valve delivery dissection in the right common iliac". A Viabhan stent was inserted, then a balloon was placed across the stent with a maximum inflation of 10 atm. I am reviewing iatrogenic laceration in Chp 5 of NCCI as my resource for not coding a repair for an injury caused by a surgeon.
Is the dissection repair with a stent a codeable procedure?
