0120 - Sequence # 13060 | Follow-Up: Atrial Thrombus Detected

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the LAAO Registry is reviewing a case scenario for January 2020. The scenario discusses a 56-year-old male patient who underwent a successful LAAO procedure with a Watchman device implant. The patient had a 45-day follow-up assessment, during which a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) revealed a 0.5 millimeter leak and a thrombus on the atrial face of the device. The viewer is asked to code this as either yes or no for sequence numbers 13060 or 14882 in version 1.4. Based on the documentation, the correct coding would be yes for atrial thrombus detected, as it was found on the atrial side of the device. If the thrombus had been located inside the left atrial appendage, behind the device, the coding would be no.
