Video Summary

In this video summary, the presenter discusses a case scenario involving a 70-year-old male patient who underwent a left atrial occlusion procedure with a Watchman device. During the procedure, a complication occurred where the left atrium was perforated, leading to a pericardial effusion with tamponade. The patient required emergent open heart surgery, and the LAO procedure was classified as aborted. The reason for the procedure being aborted was coded as decompensation in the patient's condition. Based on this reason coding, the patient will be included in Metric 6, which measures the proportion of patients with major complications related to left atrial occlusion procedures.
