Seq#8022 (Bifurcation Lesion)

Video Transcription

Sequence 8022, bifurcation lesion, is indicating if the treated lesion is at a significant bifurcation, trifurcation, or a more complex branch point.  The notes further clarify that in a bifurcation or branch lesion, the plaque extends from at least one of the limbs to the branch point.  It need not progress down all the proximal and distal branches. To further clarify, this element seeks to capture a bifurcation when PCI is performed  on two or more vessels with devices deployed in each. This can be determined based on the information provided and solely utilizing the coronary segment diagram.
