The new biopsy codes are reported based on method of removal including:
code +33225: Insertion of pacing electrode, cardiac venous system, for left ventricular pacing, at time of insertion of implantable defibrillator or pacemaker pulse generator. This add-on code should be listed separately in addition to the code for the primary procedure.
Temporary pacemaker during an emergent procedure
CPT® codes 33210 and 33211 describe insertion or replacement of temporary transvenous single and dual chamber respectively cardiac electrodes or pacemaker cath eters. These codes should not be reported with open or percutaneous cardiac procedures performed at the same patient encounter.
Temporary cardiac pacing is an intervention that helps the heartbeat get back to a normal pace if it has been temporarily out of rhythm. In temporary cardiac pacing, wires are inserted through the chest (during heart surgery), or a large vein in the groin or neck, and are directly connected to the heart.

Z95.0Z95. 0 - Presence of cardiac pacemaker | ICD-10-CM.
Introduction. Background: Temporary pacemakers (TP) allow short-term ventricular pacing but can be unstable and become ineffective during extended use. Semi-permanent pacemakers (SPP) are active fixation leads connected to an externalized pacemaker generator and may provide a more stable pacing platform.
INTRODUCTION. Temporary cardiac pacing involves electrical cardiac stimulation to treat a bradyarrhythmia or tachyarrhythmia until it resolves or until long-term therapy can be initiated. The purpose of temporary pacing is to reestablish normal hemodynamics that are acutely compromised by a slow or fast heart rate.

This is usually placed in a pocket created under the skin in your abdomen. The procedure usually takes between 1 and 2 hours, but it can take longer if you're having other heart surgery at the same time.
Temporary pacemakers are used in older patients with extreme bradyarrhythmia and occasionally with acute myocardial infarction. Serious complications are not uncommon (22% of all patients), and can range from femoral hematoma to cardiac tamponade and even death (6%).

While there are 31 root operations in the medical and surgical section of ICD-10-PCS, there are specific root operations common to cardiovascular procedures:
The following are case examples illustrating how to code cardiovascular cases using ICD-10-PCS.
These examples provide a glimpse of several of the more common cardiovascular procedures in ICD-10-PCS. For additional exposure, consider reviewing table 021–02Y in the Heart and Great Vessels body system. Often, a review of the tables in ICD-10-PCS provides additional insight and information in procedure code assignment.
Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy. An incision on the costal margin in the midclavicular line on the right side was made, and a pocket was formed. A port was then inserted within the pocket and secured with stitches.
Question: The patient has a malfunctioning right internal jugular tunneled catheter. At surgery, the old catheter was removed and a new one placed. Under ultrasound guidance, the jugular was cannulated; the cuff of the old catheter was dissected out; and the entire catheter removed.
