Video Summary

In summary, sequence 13501 is a coding requirement for a valve-in-valve procedure, regardless of the success of attempted balloon valve fracture. If lower pressure inflations are used during valvuloplasty or dilatation, code NO. If the previously implanted valve is fractured during the procedure, code YES. Sequence 13502 indicates timing of balloon valve fracture, with options for pre-implant, post-implant, or both. Sequence 13503 indicates if the valve was observed to be fractured, which can be supported by fluoroscopy, an audible snap, or a sudden drop in balloon pressure.
