Can anyone help? I can't find a code for this.
thanks
A midline was performed
using reoperative techniques. After the cardiac structures were
carefully dissected, I dissected out the aortopulmonary shunt
adequately and went around the shunt and mobilized it. At this point
I took a silastic patch and cut out a 4.5 to 5 mm wide band of
silastic band and then I tailored this to a circumference of
approximately a 3 mm Hegar dilator circumferential. This was
measured and was marked and I wrapped this around the proximal part
of the shunt and then placed 6-0 Prolene sutures through it using a 5
mm shunt to a 2 mm shunt. We this the diastolic pressures went up by
approximately 8 to 10 mmHg and the saturations stabilized down into
the 70s.
