Surgical Removal Of Pacemaker On The Heart Surface

Nevada rates for HCPCS 33237

Removal of a permanent pacemaker system whose wires are attached to the outer surface of the heart rather than threaded through a vein. The chest is opened surgically so the wires can be detached from the heart and taken out along with the pulse generator. It is done for infection, for a device that no longer works, or when the system is no longer needed.
