**e.g. they started a thrombectomy on the carotid artery of a stroke patient, but were unable to finish it, then here you'd code the thrombectomy because they went in and made the attempt.

{{DT| I have to find a CCI code for a patient who was given cardiac anaesthesia for a scheduled aortic valve replacement, but upon TEE intraop, was found to not need the procedure. She was brought to ICCS for recovery, weaning & extubation

*AG REPLY -- as above, since the valve replacement was not done, don't code that. And we are NOT coding anesthesia alone. So the only thing that would be coded here is the echo. Tina identifies that we have an administrative CCI code for [[No procedure performed]] which is to ensure that CCI wasn't missed. What we probably need here is another administrative code to deal with the fact that there is a crosscheck NOT currently allowing somebody to come from OR without a CCI procedure code. This new admin code could be called something like "No codable procedure done in OR" ~~with a made-up CCI picklist code~~.}}
