Good morning! Looking for DX code for a repair of heart (suture repair) wound. PT has malfunctioning pacemaker (lead). It's not stated by the surgeon that the pacemaker was responsible for the perforation of the heart. Dr documented procedure as a "primary suture repair of right ventricular perforation without cardiopulmonary bypass." Researching best I could find is S26.99. What do you think? TIA
