Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implant without CC/MCC
AI EXPLANATION: Permanent pacemaker implantation is a procedure in which a surgeon places a small, battery-powered electronic device under the skin of the upper chest to help manage an irregular or slow heartbeat. Thin, insulated wires are guided through a blood vessel into the chambers of the heart, allowing the device to monitor heart rhythms and deliver gentle electrical pulses when needed. This inpatient care designation applies to individuals undergoing pacemaker placement who do not have major medical complications or additional secondary conditions during their stay.
