A 12-cm incision was made on the left side of the chest. The incision was made between the ribs and was carried down to expose the heart's surface. An ischemia was visualized on the right side of the heart. The laser was inserted into the cardiac area, and between heartbeats, 15 channels were made and pressure was applied to close the opened areas. Prior to closure of the incision, there was no significant bleeding from the cardiac tissue. The laser was removed, the incision was closed, and dressings were placed on the wound. The patient tolerated the procedure with no complications and was sent to the recovery area in stable condition. CPT Code(s): Enter the coding path you followed in the index to get to your code(s)
