0422 - Sequence # 7610 | PDA Minimum Luminal Diameter-0422 - Sequence # 7610

Video Transcription

Welcome to the IMPACT Registry April 2022 case scenario, where we will discuss sequence number 7610, PDA minimum luminal diameter. Our documentation is as follows.  A five-year-old male with a history of patent ductus arteriosus undergoes cardiac catheterization to close his PDA via a transcatheter approach.  Registry assessment provides the PDA length and the diameter of the PDA on the aortic side. A 10 millimeter by 12 millimeter PDA device is utilized to close the PDA and placement  of the device is confirmed. There is no residual shunt across the PDA. Your question is, how is sequence number 7610 PDA minimal luminal diameter coded?  Please take a few moments to review the documentation and the question before making your final  selection and the answer is leave blank. There's no documentation of the PDA luminal diameter to support coding in the given scenario.  Additional information, if leaving sequence number 7610 PDA minimal luminal diameter blank causes the submission to fail the DQR, then please work closely with clinical staff in  obtaining this information. Not assessed is not an option for this data element. This information is understood to be critical to the post-treatment assessment of the PDA.  Thank you for viewing the IMPACT Registry Monthly Case Scenario for April of 2022, where we discuss sequence number 7610 PDA minimum luminal diameter.

Video Summary

The video discusses a case scenario in the IMPACT Registry for April 2022. The scenario involves a five-year-old male with a history of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) undergoing cardiac catheterization to close the PDA using a transcatheter approach. The registry assessment provides information about the PDA length and diameter on the aortic side. A 10mm by 12mm PDA device is used to close the PDA, and there is no residual shunt. The video emphasizes the importance of documenting the PDA minimal luminal diameter (sequence number 7610) but states that there is no documentation to support coding it in this scenario. If leaving it blank causes submission failure, clinical staff should be consulted to obtain the necessary information. The video is part of the IMPACT Registry Monthly Case Scenario for April 2022.
