Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for incisional electrophysiologic procedures on the heart and pericardium.
CPT Code 33250
CPT 33250 describes operative ablation of supraventricular arrhythmogenic focus or pathway (e.g., Wolff-Parkinson-White, atrioventricular node re-entry), tract(s) and/or focus (foci) without cardiopulmonary bypass.
CPT Code 33251
CPT 33251 describes operative ablation of a supraventricular arrhythmogenic focus or pathway, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White or atrioventricular node re-entry, tract(s) and/or focus (foci) with cardiopulmonary bypass.
CPT Code 33254
CPT 33254 describes operative tissue ablation and reconstruction of atria, limited (e.g., modified maze procedure).
CPT Code 33255
CPT 33255 describes operative tissue ablation and reconstruction of atria, extensive (e.g., maze procedure) without cardiopulmonary bypass.
CPT Code 33256
CPT 33256 describes operative tissue ablation and reconstruction of atria, extensive (e.g., maze procedure) with cardiopulmonary bypass.
CPT Code 33261
CPT 33261 describes operative ablation of a ventricular arrhythmogenic focus with cardiopulmonary bypass.
