BiV pacing with defibrillator
Implantation of a cardiac resynchronization (biventricular) pulse generator with defibrillator [AICD], formation
of pocket, transvenous leads, including placement of lead into left ventricular coronary venous system,
intraoperative procedures for evaluation of lead signals, and obtaining defibrillator threshold measurements.
That with CRT-D generator and one or more leads
Note: Device testing during procedure - omit code
Excludes:
implantation of cardiac resynchronization pacemaker, total system [CRT-P](00.50)
implantation or replacement of automatic cardioverter/defibrillator, total system [AICD] (37.94)
replacement of cardiac resynchronization defibrillator pulse generator, only [CRT-D](00.54)
