I need help coding the "removal of vegetation" from the Triscuspid Valve. They did a debridement of the vegetation and VSD closure. They were scraped off the anterior leaflet and the septal leaflets. I have had no success in coding this. Anybody have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate the help.

any kind of help? I'm desperate. Should I use the 33999 unlisted cardiac code, or just leave it as incidental to the VSD? The patient was taking antibiotics to try and clear it up...
