Preoperative diagnosis: Complex congenital heart disease with ongoing need for vascular access Postoperative diagnosis: Complex congenital heart disease with ongoing need for vascular access Name of procedure: Placement of a Broviac catheter via left saphenous vein (Hint 2 codes) Description of procedure: With the patient in the supine position under general anesthesia, the lower abdomen, inguinal region and genitalia, and anterior left thigh were all prepped with Betadine and draped in a sterile fashion. We made a small transverse incision just below the inguinal crease and noted meticulous hemostasis as we dissected down onto the saphenous vein. The saphenous was isolated with 5-0 silk ties. We fashioned a subcutaneous tunnel from further down on the left thigh a few centimeters above the knee up to the groin incision and brought a 4.2 French pediatric Broviac catheter through the tunnel, placing the cuff just inside the insertion site. The insertion site was snugged around the catheter with a 4-0 nylon that was also used to affix the catheter to the leg, and an additional nylon used to further affix the catheter to the leg. An appropriate length of catheter was cut. A small venotomy was made in the saphenous and the catheter was threaded proximally. Fluoroscopy identified the tip lying in the inferior vena cava. I used a 6-0 Prolene suture to secure the catheter in place. The catheter seemed to function very well in terms of infusion and withdrawal, and the femoral vein itself was not compromised in terms of its overall diameter. A 0.25% plain Marcaine block was administered. We noted hemostasis and then closed the groin wound with interrupted 5-0 Vicryl subcuticular sutures. The wound was dressed with a Tegaderm. A Biopatch disc was applied at the catheter skin insertion site. The catheter was curled under a Tegaderm. The entire system was then heparinized with 1.5mL of standard heparin saline flush.

Patient presents with extensive skin care of forehead. The site was prepared for skin graft repair with sharp debridement of eschar as well as remodeling of some of the granulation growth site. The STSG was harvested from the right thigh and carefully laid over the defect and trimmed to fit the defect properly. How should this be coded? a.) 15120, 15004 b.) 15120, 15002 c.) 15120 d.) 15100 2. A patient diagnosed with GERD presents to the same day surgery department for an upper GI endoscopy. The procedure is done in order to treat the GERD by delivering thermal energy to the muscle of the gastric cardia and lower esophageal sphincter. Anesthesia was administered and as the physician begins the procedure, the patient's blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level. The physician decides not to finish the procedure due to the risk it may cause to the patient. a.) 43257-53 b.) 43257-73 c.) 43499 d.) 43257-52 3. At the patient's bedside in the hospital, a PICC line is inserted. Using xylocaine local anesthesia, aseptic technique, a 21-gauge needle was used to access the right cephalic vein of a 72-year-old patient. When blood was obtained, a 0.018-inch platinum tip guide wire was advanced to the central venous circulation. A 6 French dual lumen PICC was introduced through a 6 French peel away sheath to a SVA RA junction, and after removal of the sheath, the catheter was attached to the skin with a STATLOCK device and flushed with 500 units of heparin in each lumen. a.) 36569 b.) 36565 c.) 36556 d.) 36561
The patient is a 63-year-old gentleman diagnosed with rectal cancer, who had a resection of the cancer performed. He now presents to have a port-a-cath (a central venous access device) inserted for postoperative adjuvant therapy. An 18-gauge introducer needle was inserted into the left subclavian vein through which a soft-tipped guide wire was inserted into the superior vena cava under fluoroscopy. A subcutaneous pouch in the anterior part of the chest was created for the port. The catheter was then tunneled and measured to length. The dilator and introducer sheath were passed over the wire into the superior vena cava under fluoroscopic guidance. The catheter was passed through the sheath and the port was applied with good venous return. What CPT® codes are reported?
