1224 - Sequence # 15714 | Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this case scenario, Mr. Shirazi underwent a pulmonary vein isolation procedure for atrial fibrillation using the wide area circumferential ablation approach, along with carinal line ablations. The procedure utilized both radiofrequency and pulse field ablation techniques. The main question addressed was how to code this procedure: as pulmonary vein isolation in sequence 15714 or adjunctive ablation lesions in sequence 7165. The conclusion was to code it as pulmonary vein isolation in sequence 15714, as the primary goal was to achieve pulmonary vein isolation to treat AFib.
