Video Summary

In this case scenario, an 83-year-old female underwent a left atrial appendage occlusion procedure. Post-procedure, she experienced hypotension and pulseless electrical activity arrest due to a large pericardial effusion, requiring pericardiocentesis and later a pericardial window surgery. The coding sequence 12153-9002 covers pericardial effusion with tamponade and cardiac arrest, but not other hemorrhage. Pericardial effusion requiring both percutaneous drainage and open cardiac surgery should be coded. The surgery for the pericardial window is to be documented in the discharge section, sequence 14835, of the data collection tool.
