TN.8.218
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for stable patients
Stable Angina or Angina Equivalent
- Stable angina or angina equivalent includes chest pain, chest discomfort and/or shortness of breath due to myocardial ischaemia.
- Limiting angina includes patients with symptoms that are Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class II, III or IV.
Staging
- If a staged procedure is appropriately performed over multiple days, items 38320, 38322 or 38323 should be used for subsequent stages.
- For subsequent stages of a stable percutaneous coronary intervention completed up to 3 months after the initial procedure, it is expected that the patient would receive the subsequent stage/s of the intervention based on the qualifying indication for the initial procedure
Coronary Vascular Territories
- The item number claimed should reflect the number of coronary vascular territories (Left Anterior Descending, Circumflex or Right Coronary Artery distribution) that are treated during the procedure, not the total number of treated territories the patient has received to date.
- The number of coronary vascular territory refers to any of the 3 major arteries (Left Anterior Descending, Circumflex or Right Coronary Artery) or their branches. The item number claimed should reflect the number of coronary vascular territories that are treated during the procedure, not the total number of diseased territories.
- For isolated Left Main (no involvement of the bifurcation), a single territory should be claimed but if the treated segment involves the bifurcation then 2 territories should be claimed.
- The intermediate artery when treated in isolation is considered a single territory, however when treated with the Left Anterior Descending or Circumflex or both, it can be claimed as two territories.
- A single lesion in a bypass graft should be claimed as a single territory regardless of how many vascular territories are supplied by that graft. If the graft has multiple lesions and those lesions are in separate skip portions to a different territory, then an additional territory may be claimed.
