IS billing for retrograde access the same as transeptal access? 93462?
thank youl

 

[Jim Pawloski]

Retrograde means against the flow of blood. Antegrade means with the flow of blood. 93462 means access is in a vein and going from the right atrium to the left atrium. This is usually done during a ablation of the pulmonary vein isolation for A-fib.
