0721 - Sequence # 7650 | PDA Closure - Outcome of Device

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the case scenario involves a three-year-old patient undergoing PDA closure in the cath lab. The occluder is released into the defect but immediately embolizes into the descending aorta. It is successfully retrieved under fluoroscopy. The question is how to code the outcome of device, sequence number 7650. The answer is number two, implanted and released. The device was introduced into the patient and released into the PDA. If the device was too small or too large and had to be removed, it would be coded as implanted, released, and retrieved. If the device embolized and required retrieval, it would be coded separately. This case will be included in metric number 28 for PDA closures with a device embolization.
