Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the LAAO case scenario for May 2021 is discussed. The video focuses on sequence 13165, a 45-day follow-up event regarding systemic thromboembolism. However, this data element number has been updated to sequence 14948 in the new version 1.4. The video presents a case of a 75-year-old female with a history of TIA and hypertension who had a successful LAAO procedure. Two months later, she presented to the emergency department with symptoms of left calf tenderness, redness, and shortness of breath. Tests confirmed the presence of a DVT and a pulmonary embolus, and the patient was started on a heparin drip. The video poses the question of whether the DVT and pulmonary embolism should be coded as a follow-up systemic thromboembolism event, to which the answer is no. The video provides additional information on the coding of DVT, pulmonary embolism, and non-device related readmission events. No credits were provided for the video.
