Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 74-year-old man underwent left atrial appendage occlusion and a concomitant radiofrequency ablation for AVNRT. For sequence 14857, code the concomitant procedure as <strong>“AFib ablation, other”</strong> because the ablation treated a rhythm other than AFib. If the ablation energy source is undocumented, seek physician clarification; if unavailable, use the same “AFib ablation, other” code. When the energy source is known, select the corresponding energy type, such as radiofrequency, cryoablation, or pulsed-field ablation.
