Operative Report
Preoperative Diagnosis: Acute MI, severe left main arteriosclerotic coronary artery disease Postoperative Diagnosis: Acute MI, severe left main arteriosclerotic coronary artery disease Procedure Performed: Placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) right common femoral artery Description of Procedure: Patient's right groin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Right common femoral artery is found, and an incision is made over the artery exposing it. The artery is opened transversely, and the tip of the balloon catheter was placed in the right common femoral artery. The balloon pump had good waveform. The balloon pump catheter is secured to his skin after local anesthesia of 2 cc of 1% Xylocaine is used to numb the area. The balloon pump is secured with a 0-silk suture. The patient has sterile dressing placed. The patient tolerated the procedure. There were no complications.
What CPT coding is reported for this case?
Answer: D
Explanation:
The procedure involved the placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) through the right common femoral artery for a patient with acute MI and severe left main arteriosclerotic coronary artery disease.
Procedure Description:
Placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).
Right common femoral artery approach.
Confirmation of good waveform and securement of the catheter.
CPT Coding:
33975: Insertion of intra-aortic balloon assist device, percutaneous.

NEW QUESTION # 11
A patient underwent a colonoscopy, where the gastroenterologist biopsied two polyps from the colon. Each polyp was sent to pathology as separately identified specimens. The gastroenterologist was requesting a pathology consult while the patient was still on the table. Tissue blocks and frozen sections were then prepared and examined as follows:
Specimen 1: First Tissue Block-Three Frozen Sections Second Tissue Block-One Frozen Section Specimen 2: First Tissue Block-Two Frozen Sections Second Tissue Block-One Frozen Section What CPT coding is reported?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Frozen section pathology coding rules:
88331 - Frozen section, first tissue block, each specimen
88332 - Frozen section, each additional tissue block, same specimen
Breakdown:
Specimen 1
Block 1 → 88331 × 1
Block 2 → 88332 × 1
Specimen 2
Block 1 → 88331 × 1
Block 2 → 88332 × 1
However, multiple frozen sections per tissue block are separately reportable:
Total first blocks = 4 frozen sections → 88331 × 4
Total additional blocks = 3 frozen sections → 88332 × 3
CPT pathology guidelines require coding by tissue block and specimen, not by polyp alone.

Operative Report
Preoperative Diagnosis: Chronic otitis media in the right ear
Postoperative Diagnosis: Chronic otitis media in the right ear
Procedure: Eustachian tube inflation
Anesthesia: General
Blood Loss: Minimal
Findings: Serous mucoid fluid
Complications: None
Indications: The patient is a 2-year-old who presented to the office with chronic otitis media refractory to medical management. The treatment will be eustachian tube inflation to remove the fluid. Risks, benefits, and alternatives were reviewed with the family, which include general anesthetic, bleeding, infection, tympanic membrane perforation, routine tubes, and need for additional surgery. The family understood these risks and signed the appropriate consent form.
Procedure in Detail: After the patient was properly identified, he was brought into the operating room and placed supine. The patient was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. General anesthesia was administered via inhalation mask, and after adequate sedation was achieved, a medium-sized speculum was placed in the right ear and cerumen was removed atraumatically using instrument with operative microscope. The tube is dilated, an incision is made to the tympanum and thick mucoid fluid was suctioned. The patient was awakened after having tolerated the procedure well and taken to the recovery room in stable condition.
What CPT coding is reported for this case?
Answer: C
Explanation:
The procedure involves eustachian tube inflation to remove serous mucoid fluid in the right ear of a 2-year-old patient with chronic otitis media.
* Procedure Description:
* Eustachian tube inflation to remove fluid.
* General anesthesia.
* Incision to the tympanum and suctioning of thick mucoid fluid.
* CPT Coding:
* 69421-RT: Eustachian tube inflation, transnasal or transoral; with catheterization, including general anesthesia. The modifier -RT indicates the right ear.

NEW QUESTION # 13
A 67-year-old male presents with DJD and spondylolisthesis at L4-L5 The patient is placed prone on the operating table and, after induction of general anesthesia, the lower back is sterilely prepped and draped. One incision was made over L1-L5. This was confirmed with a probe under fluoroscopy. Laminectomies are done at vertebral segments L4 and L5 with facetectomies to relieve pressure to the nerve roots. Allograft was packed in the gutters from L1-L5 for a posterior arthrodesis. Pedicle screws were placed at L2, L3, and L4.
The construct was copiously irrigated and muscle; fascia and skin were closed in layers.
Select the procedure codes for this scenario.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Laminectomy and Facetectomy (63047 and 63048): The laminectomies at L4 and L5 with facetectomies fall under CPT codes 63047 (for the initial segment) and 63048 (for each additional segment).
* Posterior Arthrodesis (22612 and 22614 x 3): The posterior arthrodesis from L1-L5 is coded with
22612 for the primary segment (L4-L5) and 22614 for each additional segment (L1-L4).
* Placement of Pedicle Screws (22842): The placement of pedicle screws at L2, L3, and L4 is captured under CPT code 22842 for segmental instrumentation.

NEW QUESTION # 14
Preoperative diagnosis: Right thigh benign congenital hairy nevus. *1
Postoperative diagnosis: Right thigh benign congenital hairy 0 nevus.
Operation performed: Excision of right thigh benign congenital>1
nevus, excision size with margins 4.5 cm and closure size 5 cm.
Anesthesia: General.0
Intraoperative antibiotics: Ancef.0
Indications: The patient is a 5-year-old girl who presented with her parents for evaluation of her right thigh congenital nevus. It has been followed by pediatrics and thought to have changed over the past year. Family requested excision. They understood the risks involved, which included but were not limited to risks of general anesthesia, infection, bleeding, wound dehiscence, and poor scar formation. They understood the scar would likely widen as the child grows because of the location of it and because of the age of the patient. They consented to proceed.
Description of procedure: The patient was seen preoperatively in > I the holding area, identified, and then brought to the operating room. Once adequate general anesthesia had been induced, the patient's right thigh was prepped and draped in standard surgical fashion. An elliptical excision measuring 6 x 1.8 cm had been marked. This was injected with Lidocaine with epinephrine, total of 6 cc of 1% with 1:100,000. After an adequate amount of time, a #15 blade was used to sharply excise this full thickness.
This was passed to pathology for review. The wound required limited undermining in the deep subcutaneous plane on both sides for approximately 1.5 cm in order to allow mobilization of the skin for closure. The skin was then closed in a layered fashion using 3-0 Vicryl on the dermis and then 4-0 Monocryl running subcuticular in the skin, the wound was cleaned and dressed with Dermabond and Steri-Strips.
The patient was then cleaned and turned over to anesthesia for S extubation.
She was extubated successfully in the operating room and taken S to the recovery room in stable condition. There were no complications.
What CPT and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
Answer: B
Explanation:
27380 = Repair, quadriceps muscle
S76.311A = Strain of muscle, fascia, tendon of right thigh, initial encounter Code selection is based on specific muscle group and laterality
