Placing A Defibrillator Lead Behind The Breastbone

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 0572T

Placement of the wire a defibrillator uses to sense the heart's rhythm and deliver a shock, tunnelled into the space just behind the breastbone rather than threaded through a vein into the heart. Keeping the wire out of the heart and its veins avoids the problems that come with wires running inside them.
