The vascular system includes arteries, veins and capillaries (which connect arteries and veins). An acquired arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula) is a condition where there is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein. Normally, blood flows from arteries into capillaries and then into veins.
An AV fistula is a connection, made by a vascular surgeon, of an artery to a vein. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the body, while veins carry blood from the body back to the heart. Vascular surgeons specialize in blood vessel surgery. The surgeon usually places an AV fistula in the forearm or upper arm.
An AV fistula is a surgically placed "shunt"; that is, an artery is directly sutured to a vein. An artery is a high-pressure vessel that carries blood away from the heart and delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues.
What CPT® code is reported for a frontal sinusotomy, nonobliterative, with osteoplastic flap, brow incision? Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Sinusotomy/Frontal Sinus/Nonobliterative directing you to code range 31086, 31087.
Pneumonostomy with open drainage 334835009.
Rationale: Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Abnormal, abnormality, abnormalities/Papanicolaou (smear)/cervix R87. 619.
For additional interspaces, use CPT code 22585. When two surgeons work together as primary surgeons performing distinct part(s) of an anterior interbody arthrodesis, each surgeon should report his/her distinct operative work by appending modifier '-62' to the procedure code.

Reporting signs and symptoms: Codes for signs and symptoms are acceptable as long as an established diagnosis for the symptom has not been provided. In the absence of facility specific coding guidelines, HIA coders should follow the Symptom Coding for Ancillary, ER and Outpatient Surgery Cases.
The following statement(s) is true regarding late effects: There is no time limit for the development of a residual. A patient may develop more than one residual. A residual may occur months after an injury.
A thoracotomy procedure was performed for repair of hemorrhage and lung tear. What CPT® code is reported?
The position was confirmed by bronchoscopy. The patient was placed in the decubitus position with the left side up. The chest was prepped in standard fashion with Betadine, sterile towels, sheets, and drapes. A small incision is made along the upper boarder of the fourth rib just below the intercostal space and a standard port placement was utilized to gain access to the thoracic cavity. An endoscope was inserted into the chest cavity. Initially we had excellent exposure with good isolation of the lung. (Thoracoscope was used.) We identified a large bleb at the apex of the lower lobe of the left lung, which was likely to be the source of the chronic air leak. We removed the area of the large bleb at the apex with a wedge resection using thoracoscopic green load for therapeutic correction of the patient's pneumothorax. (Wedge resection.) The wounds were closed in layers. Chest tubes were placed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was taken to the recovery room.
A 4-month-old infant presents to the physician with cold-like symptoms, coughing, and wheezing. The infant is diagnosed with bronchiolitis due to RSV. How is this condition coded?
An incision is made low in the neck. The trachea is identified in the middle and an opening is created to allow for the new breathing passage. A tracheostomy (This is the performed procedure.) tube is inserted and secured with sutures. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was sent to recovery without complications.
A patient with laryngeal spasms undergoes therapeutic injection of the vocal cords. Topical anesthesia is administered to the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Using an operating microscope, a direct laryngoscope is inserted into the patient's mouth.
The surgeon makes an incision in the neck near the cricothyroid membrane for an emergency tracheostomy for a patient who arrives in the emergency room with tracheal crushing injuries suffered in a car accident in which the patient was riding as the passenger. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
Under local anesthesia a small incision is made between the ribs. A catheter is inserted into the pleural space between the parietal and pleural viscera. Subsequently, 5g of sterile asbestos free talc was introduced into the pleural space via the catheter. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
The ICD code J86 is used to code Pleural empyema. Pleural empyema, also known as pyothorax or purulent pleuritis, is empyema (an accumulation of pus) in the pleural cavity that can develop when bacteria invade the pleural space, usually in the context of a pneumonia. It is one of various kinds of pleural effusion.
There are three stages: exudative, when there is an increase in pleural fluid with or without the presence of pus; fibrinopurulent, when fibrous septa form localized pus pockets; and the final organizing stage, when there is scarring of the pleura membranes with possible inability of the lung to expand.
