Minimally invasive, done through large vessel or small incision in chest.
How to code
how about the angiogram?
- What code do you use for a "peripheral angiogram" in TEVAR and TAVI? Is this a coronary angiogram? Also, do you count the angiogram in the lab counts?--LKolesar 13:15, 2015 September 16 (CDT)
- They do not do a coronary angiogram, they approach the valve through a femoral artery cutdown doing a peripheral angiogram to access the artery and aorta. I started coding both AVR and angiogram to indicate the AVR was not done the usual way through a sternotomy. --LBilesky 14:22, 2017 May 25 (CDT)
previous location
- Maybe the pt came from Interventional radiology and not the heart cath lab? --LKolesar 14:34, 2017 July 14 (CDT)
vs Valvuloplasty
- There is a whole different discussion going on under Valvuloplasty related to this. Should these be coded as Valvuloplasty or AVR Repair/Replace? The answer eventually might better live in those articles, since they are really more relevant to the dx than to how to code at STB, right? Ttenbergen 17:10, 2017 May 18 (CDT)
