Video Transcription

Video Summary

The August 2025 case scenario reviews an 82-year-old male with a prior ICD implant undergoing device removal due to infection. During lead extraction, a perforation occurred, causing a drop in blood pressure. Emergency surgery was performed, but the patient arrested and died in the OR. The scenario tests knowledge on registry inclusion (yes), coding the procedure as generator explant, and which intra/post-procedure events are collected (cardiac arrest, urgent surgery, death in procedure). Infection requiring antibiotics was excluded due to lack of documentation. The case emphasizes procedural risks and accurate event coding for the EP Device Implant Registry.
