0422 - Sequence # 13381 | Number of Diseased Vessels

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video segment discusses case scenario STS-ACC TBT Registry April 2022, focusing on sequence number 13381, which represents the number of diseased vessels in a patient. The video explains that a patient's diagnostic coronary angiogram revealed several stenosed arteries, including the left main artery, proximal LED, mid-LED, mid-left circumflex, and proximal RCA. The correct code for sequence number 13381 is three, indicating three diseased vessels. The video also addresses sequence number 13260, concerning left main stenosis greater than or equal to 50%, which should be coded as number two, yes. Finally, sequence number 13301, representing proximal left anterior descending artery disease greater than or equal to 70%, would be coded as number two, yes. These codes capture the extent of a patient's atherosclerotic heart disease and help determine appropriate treatment. This video is a presentation of the April 2022 STS-ACC-TVT Registry case scenario.
