Removing The Lead Of A Heart Ischemia Monitor

Vermont rates for HCPCS 0531T

Takes out only the wire electrode that runs through a vein into the heart as part of an implanted system that watches for electrical signs of reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. The wire is withdrawn back along the vein it was placed through rather than by opening the chest, and the recording unit under the skin is left where it is. Imaging is used during the removal to follow the wire.
