1223 -Sequence # 7175 | Transseptal Catheterization

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, they discuss the coding of transeptal catheterization in sequence number 7175. They present a case scenario of a patient undergoing an ablation procedure. The patient had a successful transeptal puncture using a BRK needle and an SL2 sheath, which was then used to cross two wires and two sheaths into the left atrium. They ask whether this should be coded as single or double transeptal catheterization. Based on the documentation provided, the answer is double, as the single puncture was double-wired. They explain that single transeptal catheterization would be coded if the same puncture was single-wired and all exchanges went through the same wire at a time.
