LAAO-0626 - Follow Up Events Occurred Seq# 14948/14276 Pulmonary Embolus Deep Vein Thrombosis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript explains LAAO Registry coding for thromboembolic events. In the first case, an 82-year-old woman was admitted with suspected DVT and PE; imaging confirmed both, so both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus are coded, but not systemic thromboembolism unless a separate arterial event is documented. In the second case, CTA confirmed only a pulmonary embolus, so only PE is coded. The key lesson is to code based on confirmed imaging and to distinguish venous events from systemic arterial embolic events.
