Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the LAAO Registry discusses a case scenario involving Mr. Oliver, who underwent an LAA occlusion procedure with a Watchman device. However, during a TEE, it was discovered that the device had dislodged from the left atrial appendage and traveled to the left ventricle at the aortic root. Mr. Oliver underwent successful cardiac surgery to retrieve the Watchman device and ligate the left atrial appendage. Based on the registry's adverse event definition document, this case qualifies as a device systemic embolism. The video also explains the coding of follow-up events, such as reintervention, unplanned cardiac surgery, device explant, device-related readmission, and device systemic embolism, for Mr. Oliver's 45-day follow-up assessment.
