0222 - Inclusion Criteria of 2nd LAAO Procedure During Follow-Up Period

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the February 2022 case scenario for the LAAO Registry, a 78-year-old male undergoes a follow-up after a successful Watchman implantation. A PERI device leak of 7mm is found at the 45-day follow-up, and anticoagulation continues until reassessment at six months, where the leak is measured at 6mm. The decision is made to fix the leak, and an Amplatzer duct occluder device is implanted two weeks later. The video addresses whether the duct occluder procedure should be considered a new procedure, which the answer is yes. It also explains the coding for follow-up events and confirms that a second LAAO procedure for a device leak requires a new set of follow-ups. No credits granted.
