I am having trouble coding the evacuation of the clot because the defect was not cut out.
Op Note: the patient as brought to the operating room and had a radial arterial line and CVP started, was anesthetized and intubated. A small incision was made over the groin area. The clot was evacuated, the femoral artery was identified, puncture site was identified with pressure control of the arter, 5-0 Prolene simple sutures x 2 to control the puncture site. Small J-P drain placed, wound closed in layers.
Any help with the CPT is greatly appreciated!
