I need help coding a ventricular laceration repair, the patient had a CABG done.
He was then taken to ICU where he went into cardiac arrest, the physician peformed external cardiac massage, while on the way to the OR. The patient then had internal cardiac massage when the accidental ventricular laceration occurred it was 1 inch in length.
I need help with a code for this laceration repair, the patient also had to have a new bypass graft(which I have already coded). The laceration repair is what is baffling me.
Thanks,
