Seq#9146 (Significant Coronary Artery Dissection)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A dissection in PCI refers to contrast materials extending beyond the vessel's expected dimensions, occurring frequently during procedures. The data element focuses on capturing significant dissections witnessed during PCI, excluding non-flow-limiting type A or B dissections. Type C to F dissections, involving ischemia or flow impairment, are captured. Type C involves persisting contrast medium extravasations, Type D features spiral-filling defect with complete distal flow, Type E has persistent filling defect with delayed antegrade flow, and Type F exhibits filling defect with impaired flow and total occlusion.
