Clinical Information

• Embolic Protection Devices-. vascular filters or occlusive devices that provide mechanical protection of the distal end organ from blood clots or embolism-causing debri dislodged during endovascular procedures.
• Embolism-. blocking of a blood vessel by an embolus which can be a blood clot or other undissolved material in the blood stream.
• Embolism and Thrombosis-. a collective term for pathological conditions which are caused by the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in a blood vessel, or by blocking of a blood vessel with an embolus, undissolved materials in the blood stream.
• Embolism, Air-. blocking of a blood vessel by air bubbles that enter the circulatory system, usually after trauma; surgical procedures, or changes in atmospheric pressure.
• Embolism, Amniotic Fluid-. blocking of maternal circulation by amniotic fluid that is forced into uterine veins by strong uterine contraction near the end of pregnancy. it is characterized by the sudden onset of severe respiratory distress and hypotension that can lead to maternal death.
• Embolism, Cholesterol-. blocking of a blood vessel by cholesterol-rich atheromatous deposits, generally occurring in the flow from a large artery to small arterial branches. it is also called arterial-arterial embolization or atheroembolism which may be spontaneous or iatrogenic. patients with spontaneous atheroembolism often have painful, cyanotic digits of acute onset.
• Embolism, Fat-. blocking of a blood vessel by fat deposits in the circulation. it is often seen after fractures of large bones or after administration of corticosteroids.
• Embolism, Paradoxical-. blockage of an artery due to passage of a clot (thrombus) from a systemic vein to a systemic artery without its passing through the lung which acts as a filter to remove blood clots from entering the arterial circulation. paradoxical embolism occurs when there is a defect that allows a clot to cross directly from the right to the left side of the heart as in the cases of atrial septal defects or open foramen ovale. once in the arterial circulation, a clot can travel to the brain, block an artery, and cause a stroke.
• Intracranial Embolism-. blocking of a blood vessel in the skull by an embolus which can be a blood clot (thrombus) or other undissolved material in the blood stream. most emboli are of cardiac origin and are associated with heart diseases. other non-cardiac sources of emboli are usually associated with vascular diseases.
• Intracranial Embolism and Thrombosis-. embolism or thrombosis involving blood vessels which supply intracranial structures. emboli may originate from extracranial or intracranial sources. thrombosis may occur in arterial or venous structures.
• Ischemic Stroke-. stroke due to brain ischemia resulting in interruption or reduction of blood flow to a part of the brain. when obstruction is due to a blood clot formed within in a cerebral blood vessel it is a thrombotic stroke. when obstruction is formed elsewhere and moved to block a cerebral blood vessel (see cerebral embolism) it is referred to as embolic stroke. wake-up stroke refers to ischemic stroke occurring during sleep while cryptogenic stroke refers to ischemic stroke of unknown origin.
• Neoplastic Cells, Circulating-. exfoliate neoplastic cells circulating in the blood and associated with metastasizing tumors.
• Pulmonary Embolism-. blocking of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches by an embolus.

Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together diagnosis codes for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on their principal diagnosis in areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). Once a patient is assigned a particular diagnostic category, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care for that patient. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.
