0920 - Sequence # 9105 | Phrenic Nerve Damage

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video summarizes the AFib Ablation Registry Monthly Case Scenario for September 2020. It discusses a patient who underwent an AFib ablation procedure. During the procedure, cryoablation was used but resulted in the loss of the phrenic nerve capture. The cryoablation was stopped immediately, and alternative strategies were used to complete the procedure. The patient was later observed to have resolved phrenic nerve damage before being discharged. The video asks if the phrenic nerve damage should be coded as an intra or post-procedure event. The answer is no, unless the nerve damage persists after discharge. The video concludes by thanking the viewers for reviewing the scenario.
