1224 - Untangling the STS Isolated Tricuspid Valve Surgery Risk Calculator in the Tricuspid Module

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses coding practices for tricuspid valve procedures in the STS-ACC TVT Registry. It explains that the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' risk scores for tricuspid valve surgery are not yet available, thus related data elements should be left blank. The video highlights that existing risk scores are not interchangeable with tricuspid procedures. It also guides on using patient risk estimates for coding purposes, specifically if the heart team hasn't documented a risk category, allowing a risk score to be used instead. Finally, it emphasizes familiarizing with the isolated tricuspid valve surgery risk calculator.
