Labs
For any critical care pt where you code an angio dx, also code angio in Labs only if procedure done outside of ICU.
Pt admitted from cath lab
Pt travels to other site for angio
Pt does not return
If an ICU nurse goes with a patient to HSC or STB for an angio/plasty and the patient does not return to your site because he is admitted to one of these centers, please DO NOT code angio/plasty in your acquired DX slots. You only need to indicate angio in Labs and TISS item # 91 for procedures outside of ICU.
Pt does return to unit
If an ICU nurse goes with a patient to HSC or STB for an angio/plasty and the patient does return to your ICU then code the angio as an acquired. If a patients goes to another center for a procedure and returns to your ICU after being away for some time, you must check with that centers data collector if indeed the patient was admitted to the ICU prior to or after their procedure.
Failed Angio
Code 76401 - Failed (dissect./rupture fem art) for any failed angio, e.g. when pt comes back from an angioplasty and the doc states it has failed and was unsuccessful in opening the vessel. The code is not limited to the complications listed as examples.
