Exam 17: Cardiovascular System

Within the cardiovascular system, what is compared to the branches of a tree?

Insertion of a single lead implantable defibrillator pulse generator. CPT Code: ____________________

The major division of the Cardiovascular subsection is by how a procedure involved a ____ vessel.

Cardiovascular stress test codes are used for:

____________________ is a procedure in which the surgeon withdraws fluid from the pericardial space by means of a needle.

Placement of a dual-chamber pacemaker. Using a standard technique, the left infraclavicular subcutaneous pacemaker pocket was created with sharp and blunt dissection.The 2 j-tipped guidewires were advanced through a left subclavian vein using standard left subclavian venotomy under fluoroscopic guidance.The peel-away sheaths and introducers were advanced over the guidewires, and the guidewires were removed.The pacemaker leads were advanced under fluoroscopic guidance into the right ventricular apex and right atrial appendage.The pacemaker leads were seen to function adequately in vivo and were sutured in place with 0 silk.The leads were connected to the pulse generator, which was delivered into the wound in the usual fashion; 2-0 Vicryl suture was used to close the deep tissue layer and a 4-0 running subcuticular suture was used to close the skin.There were no complications of the procedure.Code the pacemaker placement only. CPT Code: ____________________

____ cardiology is entering the body to make a correction or for examination.

Direct repair of aneurysm associated with occlusion of the vertebral artery. CPT Code: ____________________

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is:

An in-person electronic analysis of a dual chamber pacemaker system with reprogramming. CPT Code: ____________________

Limited bilateral study, noninvasive physiologic study of arteries of the arm. CPT Code: ____________________

Harvest of one segment of vein from upper arm for coronary artery bypass procedure.Report vein harvest add-on code only. CPT Code: ____________________

Selective catheterization of both renal arteries. The right femoral artery was entered by Seldinger technique, and a 6-French sheath was placed.No heparin was used.The patient had a BP of over 200 systolic.After placement of the 6-French sheath, a pigtail catheter was introduced and an aortogram was done in the AP projection using 20 cc of dye.Next a 5-French Cobra catheter was introduced, and both the left renal artery and the right renal artery were selectively opacified.The patient was sent to her room in good condition without complications after renal angiograms had been done, the sheath had been removed, and hemostasis had been secured. Results: Right renal artery-there is a single right renal artery with a minimal irregularity along the wall, but no evidence of significant fibromuscular dysplasia or stenosis is noted.The distal nephrogram appears unremarkable. Left renal artery-there are two renal arteries, the upper pole renal artery rising in the normal location and the lower pole renal artery considerably lower.Both these vessels appear relatively unremarkable with no stenosis or fibromuscular dysplasia seen either. CPT Code: (Surgery Code) ____________________

A five-vessel coronary artery bypass using two arteries and three vein grafts. CPT Codes: _______________________________________

A patient presents to the physician's office to have blood drawn for various lab tests.The venous blood is drawn by the medical assistant and sent to the lab with an order from the physician.Code only the drawing of the blood. CPT Code: ____________________

If a clinic owns its own x-ray equipment, what modifier would be used when coding for the supervision and interpretation of a cardiac catheterization?

Pacemaker insertion codes are divided based on the surgical:

What are the three sections of the CPT manual that you use to code many cardiovascular services?

Coronary artery bypass using two arterial grafts. CPT Code: ____________________

What type of cardiology is a diagnostic specialty that uses radioactive elements to aid in the diagnosis of cardiology conditions?
