Can someone help me with this one.. and is there enough documentation to really code the pocket revision?

TYPE OF PROCEDURE:
Generator pin replacement and pocket revision.

PROCEDURE: After the procedure was explained and the risks and
benefits were explained the area of the left clavicle was prepped
and draped in a sterile fashion. 1% Xylocaine was infiltrated. A
3-cm incision was made. The generator was taken out. The LV
lead on the generator the plug was taken out, an adaptor was
placed, and the LV lead area attached it to the LV lead. After
this testing was done and found to be adequate. Subcutaneous
tissues were sutured in a continuous manner using 2-0 Vicryl. The
pocket was revised a little bit. Steri-Strips were placed. LV
lead threshold was 1.25 volts 310 ohms. We put an Oscor lead
adapter, model #BLV/BIS-4403, serial #BIU65602. The patient
tolerated the procedure well.


thanks!!
