vs Valvuloplasty

• There is a whole different discussion going on under Valvuloplasty related to this. Should these be coded as Valvuloplasty or AVR Repair/Replace? The answer eventually might better live in those articles, since they are really more relevant to the dx than to how to code at STB, right? Ttenbergen 17:10, 2017 May 18 (CDT)
