0425 - Seq#9001 (Intra Post Procedure Events)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In April 2025, a 70-year-old male with NSTEMI underwent a successful PCI but later showed ST elevations and new thrombus occlusion in the distal LAD, requiring a thrombectomy. The scenario highlights coding myocardial infarction as a post-procedure event when new obstructions cause symptoms like ischemia, even without biomarker data, per updated coding guidelines in sequence 9001. In a second case, a 72-year-old female's chest pain during balloon inflation was not coded as MI since it was transient and resolved post-inflation, without new obstructions.
