Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents to the hospital with signs of a localized wound infection and purulent drainage at the site of a previously placed totally implantable vascular access port in the chest wall. Due to persistent infection and failure of conservative management, the implanted port reservoir and catheter are surgically removed from the subcutaneous tissue and fascia of the trunk during an open procedure. The goal is source control of infection by extracting the device and affected tissue. Typical codes: 0JPT0WZ
A middle-aged patient is admitted electively for removal of a subcutaneous tissue expander in the anterior abdominal wall after completion of reconstructive therapy. The expander is removed through a planned percutaneous extraction from the subcutaneous tissue and fascia of the trunk once the desired tissue expansion has been achieved. This is a scheduled inpatient procedure following preoperative planning. Typical codes: 0JPT3NZ
A young adult presents to the emergency department after sustaining blunt trauma to the chest with pain and malfunction of a previously implanted subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator lead; imaging suggests lead displacement and skin breakdown over the lead tunnel. An urgent percutaneous procedure is performed to remove the subcutaneous defibrillator lead from the trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia to prevent further complications and allow for definitive management. Typical codes: 0JPT3FZ
