EPICARDIAL MICRA with Epicardial LV lead
Date: Mar 22, 2024
Question:
I have a case that a NICU baby has had bipolar epicardial left ventricular lead and an epicardial generator Micra placed in anterior abdominal quadrant. Is this still 33274 / 33225??
"3 cm left anterior thoracotomy was performed, a bipolar ventricular lead was adhered to the left ventricle, tested with appropriate thresholds. We selected the Micra generator to avoid the previous infected sites. Generator was connected and final testing was completed without issue."
I'm really not sure if the Micra even has the ability to have a lead connected. Any direction on this is greatly appreciated.
