Ablation
Question:
How would you code the procedures listed? I couldn't fit the entire report. PROCEDURES PERFORMED: 1. EP study with right atrial CF, His bundle RV pacing and recording. 2. 3D mapping with Carto 3 system. 3. Double transseptal puncture. 4. Intracardiac echo. 5. Pulmonary vein isolation. 6. Cavotricuspid isthmus ablation. 7. Left atrial roofline, anterior line, septal anterior line, mitral isthmus line, and intracoronary sinus linear ablation were all performed to treat that annular flutter and to reinforce documented previous lines from the procedure in 2006. 8. Mapping and ablation of a micro reentrant focal arrhythmia from the anterior wall of the left atrium. 9. Intracardiac adenosine push. 10. Fluoroscopy.
