Patient requested relocation of pacemaker due to arm pain.
report reads: Pocket was opened and the pulse generator was taken out and moved submuscular and placed more medical aspect, as possible. Pulse generator has been
anchored to the underlying pectoralis muscle. The pocket was irrigated with vancomycin
solution then the muscle closed sutures with Vicryl and subcutanous muscle closed, pressure dressing applied.

Have no idea how to code this???

thanks
