0225 - Seq. 9001 (Intra/Post-Procedure Events) Device Embolization

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The case scenario reviews a device embolization event involving an 87-year-old male with severe bradycardia and a first-degree heart block who had a leadless pacemaker implanted. Overnight, the device became dislodged, confirmed by a chest X-ray, and was extracted. Key questions addressed include recording the device embolization in the first lab visit and how to capture the second lab visit, advising the addition of an extra lab visit in the episode of care. This scenario emphasizes the potential of pacemaker dislodgement within 24 hours and the process for documenting such incidents.
