Summary
The provider inserts or replaces a neurostimulation catheter through the skin into a vein and advances it into the superior vena cava. The provider verifies capture of the phrenic nerves, meaning the stimulation activates the nerves that control the diaphragm. The provider performs mapping and programming and delivers transvenous phrenic neurostimulation therapy to help strengthen the diaphragm in a mechanically ventilated patient. The code also includes catheter repositioning when performed and imaging guidance.
