Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses case scenario 13015 in the LAAO Registry, focusing on the coding of a deceased patient. A 65-year-old female patient underwent a successful LAAO procedure with a Watchman device implanted on September 30, 2019. The patient had a 45-day follow-up on November 19, 2019, and was readmitted to the hospital with pneumonia after 30 days. The patient died on December 26, 2019, 87 days post-procedure. The video clarifies that the patient's death will be coded on their six-month follow-up, as the 45-day follow-up had already been done, and the patient was alive at that time. The assessment date for the six-month follow-up can be either the planned date or any date within the six-month follow-up range.
