Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the STS ACC TVT Registry discusses two sequences: 13423 for aortic valve calcification severity, and 13471 for aortic valve annular calcification. The scenario involves a patient being evaluated for a TAVR procedure, with CTA results showing specific measurements of the annulus diameter and AV annulus area, indicating severe aortic calcification. If echocardiogram reports calcification but it is not available in the CTA results, sequence number 13423 is left blank, and sequence number 13437, indicating that aortic valve calcification severity is not documented, is selected instead. If calcification is shown in the echocardiogram, sequence number 13471 for aortic valve annular calcification is coded as yes. These coding elements do not affect the ability to submit or pass the DQR.
