Video Transcription

Video Summary

In Sequence 13186, a new data element called Symptoms of Aortic Stenosis Present is introduced for TAVR. It is coded based on any symptoms of heart failure within the last three months prior to the procedure. The abstractor can code this based on physician documentation or information in the medical record. If there is any documentation of patient symptoms within the last three months, even if there are no heart failure symptoms during the procedure, it should be coded as yes. Similarly, if there are symptoms like shortness of breath but no physician documentation of heart failure, it should still be coded as yes. This data element is included in the full dataset for evaluating appropriate use criteria.
