Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses a case scenario in the CAF PCI Registry for August 2022. The patient is a 63-year-old male with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, and CAD. They had previously received a drug-eluting stent in their proximal RCA. The patient was admitted to the hospital for unstable angina and taken to the CAF lab the next day. Diagnostic films showed the prior stent to be patent, but a new 90% lesion was found extending into the mid-RCA, which was treated with another drug-eluting stent. After the procedure, there was no residual stenosis. The provider documented that only the current stenosis was treated, not the previously treated portion of the RCA. Therefore, the correct coding for sequence number 8008, Previously Treated Lesion, is number two, no. The video concludes by thanking the viewers and mentioning the next month's case scenario.
