STSTVT-0626 - Base and Follow-up Major and Minor Vascular Complications

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This case explains how to code vascular complications after TAVR. A major vascular complication is coded when confirmed bleeding causes a hemoglobin drop of at least 3 g/dL, requires transfusion, or needs surgical/procedural intervention. A minor vascular complication is used when bleeding is confirmed but does not meet major criteria. The examples show a severe hematoma requiring surgery and a 3.5 g/dL hemoglobin drop as major, while a small hematoma resolving with pressure and a 0.8 g/dL drop is minor. Resources are found under Resources > Documents > Quality Tools and Reference Documents, using VARC definitions.
