Stent insertions for which we don't have a specific code

• Template:DiscussionRe: coronary stent insertion. Due to many other stent procedures used in renal, neurosurgery and urology, could we catch this trend by capturing these all under "other stents"?FLindell 13:18, 2 June 2008 (CDT)
  • I think at this point we need to be careful because not all stents are vascular. We will be reassessing the coding more when we cover this in our task group. --LKolesar 14:00, 2 June 2008 (CDT)

Template:DiscussionProposed Resolution, if accepted should be added to all stent diagnoses we do codeTtenbergen 16:48, 2012 September 6 (CDT):

• There are some stent insertions we don't collect - do not use this diagnosis to code other stent insertions.
