Cardiologist implanting a new dual-chamber pacemaker (for sss & recurring syncope) and explanting a loop recorder; inserts leads into artery instead of vein; does create the pocket for the pulse generator. Discontinues procedure after discovering the artery was hit but does explant the loop recorder.
3 days later a general surgeon implants the PM but the Cardiologist does advance the leads and affix them to the myocardium.
This is over my head. This pt was a same day but converted to IP after the incident.
Coding professional fees. CPT codes Please?
Thanks!!!!!!
