Extensive Heart Rhythm Ablation During Other Heart Surgery

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 33259

Creates an extensive pattern of scar lines in the heart's upper chambers to block the chaotic electrical signals that cause atrial fibrillation, with the patient supported on a heart-lung machine while it is done. It is performed during another open-heart operation and is billed in addition to that operation. The scar lines channel the heart's electrical activity back into a regular rhythm.
