Seq#8007 (TIMI Flow (Pre-Intervention))

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In pre-intervention sequence 8007, the lowest TIMIFLO through a lesion is coded based on physician documentation. If a lesion covers multiple segments with varying TIMIFLO, code the lowest TIMIFLO for the entire lesion. When a lesion is completely blocked, TIMI0 is used. The TIMIFLO grading system categorizes anti-grid flow, excluding perfusion from collaterals. Without physician documentation, only descriptive terms listed in the data definition should be used for consistency. This process ensures accurate data capture in evaluating TIMIFLO during procedures.
