Video Summary

In the CAHPS PCI Registry Case Scenario for April 2020, a 56-year-old male presents to the emergency department with severe chest pain and sweating. An ECG reveals a STEMI and the cardiologist immediately performs a PCI procedure in the cath lab. The diagnostic coronary angiography shows a 90% stenosis with a blood clot in the middle of the left anterior descending artery. The physician performs a thrombectomy to remove the clot and places a drug-eluting stent. No further treatment is needed for the other coronary vessels. Thrombectomy is considered a concomitant procedure, which qualifies as PCI and should be documented. The door-to-balloon time for this case is 40 minutes.<br /><br />(Note: No credits are provided in the video transcript.)
