Line 9:

*The method of drainage can be anything: open surgical, percutaneous, etc.

'''Includes'''

**VP shunt (ventriculoperitoneal shunt) - combine [[(T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles]] and [[Drainage, Evacuation]]

**VP shunt (ventriculoperitoneal shunt) - combine [[(T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles]] and [[Drainage, Evacuation]] and [[Implantation of Internal Device]]

**Pericardiocentesis and/or creation of a pericardial window combine with [[(T) Pericardium]] or [[(D) Pericardium]], pericardium as in the case of tamponade

**Abscess drainage -- or incision & drainage (I&D)

**Drainage of a collection of blood or evacuation of a blood clot (e.g. in the head) combine with [[(T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles]] ~~--- '''but it does NOT include endarterectomy or thrombectomy''' -- see~~ [[~~Extraction~~]]

**Drainage of a collection of blood or evacuation of a blood clot (e.g. in the head) combine with [[(T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles]] If the evacuation is done to decompress the Brain, also code [[(T) Brain]] with [[Release, Decompression]]

**Drainage of fluid -- e.g. from a joint

***This applies to a therapeutic joint tap -- '''Diagnostic''' joint taps are listed as [[Arthrocentesis, diagnostic]] in the quick pick list

Line 25:

**Nephrostomy tubes

* therapeutic lavage (abdominal washout) see [[List of CCI procedures we don't code]]

* does NOT include endarterectomy or thrombectomy see [[Extraction]]

***we are aware that this will not distinguish surgical from nonsurgical drainage procedures; this is one of the consequences of NOT including the next layer to CCI coding (i.e. "how" the thing was done)
