Heart Rhythm Ablation During Another Heart Operation

Maryland rates for HCPCS 33258

Creates a pattern of controlled scar lines in the upper chambers of the heart to block the disorganised electrical signals that cause atrial fibrillation. Scarred tissue does not carry electrical signals, so the lines steer the heartbeat back along a normal path. This is done during another heart operation performed at the same sitting, so the chest is already open.
