CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#5220 (Cardiac CTA Performed)

Video Transcription

Sequence 5220, Cardiac CTA Performed, is indicating if a cardiac computerized tomographic angiography was performed between birth or previous procedure and current procedure.  When the target value is separated into two distinct thoughts, it is easier to apply to the patient scenario.  When the patient presents for a new episode of care, apply this portion of the target value, last value between birth and current procedure.  When the patient presents to the lab after having a diagnostic or PCI procedure during the episode of care, apply this portion of the target value, the last value between previous  procedure and current procedure. As most patients are presenting from home to an ambulatory surgery center or office-based  lab, this portion of the target value will almost always be applied, capturing a cardiac CTA performed anytime between birth and the current procedure, regardless of a history  of PCI or CABG.

Video Summary

This excerpt discusses the importance of Sequence 5220, Cardiac CTA Performed, in determining if a cardiac computerized tomographic angiography was done between specific timelines for patient scenarios. It highlights the distinction in applying the target value between birth and the current procedure for new episodes of care, and between previous and current procedure for patients post-diagnostic or PCI procedures. Emphasizing the relevance for most patients coming from home to a healthcare facility, the target value focuses on capturing a cardiac CTA done anytime between birth and the current procedure, irrespective of PCI or CABG history.
