Description
With increasing advances in catheter-based therapies on the heart and coronary arteries, it becomes more difficult to figure out which procedures are being performed and how to code for them. In this webinar, we will start with a simple primer on heart and coronary anatomy and then discuss cardiac catheterizations and percutaneous coronary interventions. The experience will be capped off with a walk through case studies where we will apply guidelines and other official advice to code cases.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between coronary artery imaging and imaging of heart chambers
- Determine PCS values for different types of contrast material
- Select device values for angioplasty and coronary stents
- Apply codes to case studies

I like the inclusion of the Impella and heart pump
Haugen Customer –
slower paced case studies. presenter should return to her notes and show how they are presented in the case studies
Haugen Customer –
I liked the Impella information. Also, how to know that a heart cath. was actually done.

You do wonderfully diagramed webinars. I loved the way the heart was described as a house – brilliant!
Kathy –
It would be helpful to have it indicated in the course title that this is for inpatient coding. I’m an outpatient coder; however, a good portion of the course was helpful.

Using the “house” and “plumbing” analogy, it is easier to understand where procedures are being performed.

The way Kristi presented the anatomy using the house analogy was very helpful. It will help me think through keeping things straight while reading & coding.

Heart anatomy being compared to a house definitely made my understanding of it so much better; I appreciated the slide of different types of contrast and which character they fall under-will certainly come in handy for my coding going forward (less Googling for sure!); I always learn so much from Kristi’s presentations!

I loved the clarification between rotational and Orbital atherectomies, also the bifurcation/ kissing balloons with the difference between that and just going into the proximal next artery I love Kristi!!!

Clearer anatomy of the heart
Haugen Customer –
Gave me a better understand of anatomy and how blood flows through the heart. I kinda knew before but this cemented it. Great analogies with the house/plumbing.
Cynthia –
I love the plumming VS. house picture she painted.
Haugen Customer –
I loved the reference to the heart as a house and the plumbing and doors
Haugen Customer –
Like the correlation of using the plumbing vs electrical

Refresher on the heart anatomy and coronary vessels

difference between left and right heart cath. better understanding of the contrast that’s used understanding Impella
Haugen Customer –
Learned about the removal of Impella device surgical approach is percutaneous and not open when a femoral artery cutdown is done to reach device.

Learned more about the heart

Got a better understanding of the procedures
Loraine –
i am much more clear about what to look for verifications that the procedures were done. I also didn’t understand what exactly Drug Eluting purposes were. Overall I really felt this webinar is really good.
