Video Summary
The video discussed the updated base codes for congenital lesions during heart catheterization procedures. It emphasized distinguishing between normal and abnormal native connections, highlighting the importance of alignments and connections within the heart structures. Normal connections require both normal alignments and connections, while abnormalities in either would classify as abnormal. Examples of normal cases include isolated ASDs, VSDs, PDAs, and co-arcs, while abnormal cases encompass valvar issues like PS and AS, AV canals, cone or truncal defects, and surgical shunts or conduits. The speakers acknowledged the evolving approach and consensus among the group regarding these classifications and welcomed questions via email.
