Video Summary

In this video, the monthly case scenario of the IMPACT Registry for October 2021 is discussed. The case involves a 14-year-old male who presents for closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) due to underlying conditions. The procedure is successful with no residual shunting or obstruction observed on the echocardiogram. However, later that evening, the patient experiences increasing shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and chest pressure. An echocardiogram confirms device embolization and obstruction, requiring the patient to be taken to the cath lab for device retrieval. The question posed is how to code this scenario, and the answer is that it should be coded as "no" because the device retrieval occurs during a separate episode of care, after the patient's discharge from the facility. No credits are mentioned in the video.
