Which code is to be used for the below Procedure:
Patient following up after Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy
The gastrojejunal anastomosis was characterized by moderate stenosis and
dilation 4 cm (inner diameter) x 1 cm (length).
Coagulation for tissue destruction using argon plasma at 0.3
liters/minute and 70 watts was successful. The decision was made to use
sutures to decrease diameter of gastric outlet size. OverStitch device was attached to the proximal and distal
ends of the endoscope. The scope was reinserted. The device was loaded
with 2.0 polypropylene suture. A total of one sutures in purse string
fashion were placed with cinches on both ends over a 10mm balloon.
