I am aware of the NCCI edit for 33210 and cardiac interventions, but are there ever any instances where you could bill a temp pacemaker during an intervention or is this always a bundled component?

I bill for it if the patient comes into the cath lab already bradycardiac, so they need pacing. If the pacer is placed and put on stand-by, then I don't bill for it.
