I'm struggling coding fibrin sheath disruptions.
FIBRIN SHEATH DISRUPTION
How would I code this? Following discussion, written informed consent was obtained for the procedure. The right groin was sterilely prepped and draped. Right femoral TempCath was exchanged for a 10 French sheath. The inferior vena cava was empirically dilated to low pressure with a 12 mm balloon to disrupt any potential fibrin sheath. The sheath was exchanged for a 24 French Schon TempCath which was placed with the tip at the level of the IVC.
Thanks,
