AVRT is most commonly associated with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, but is also seen in permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT). In AVRT, an accessory pathway allows electrical signals from the heart's ventricles to enter the atria and cause earlier than normal contraction, which leads to repeated stimulation of the ...
Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach or VT) is a cardiovascular disorder in which fast heart rate occurs in the ventricles of the heart. [3] Although a few seconds of VT may not result in permanent problems, longer periods are dangerous; and multiple episodes over a short period of time are referred to as an electrical storm.
Cardiac aberrancy is a type of disruption in the shape of the electrocardiogram signal, representing abnormal activation of the ventricular heart muscle via the electrical conduction system of the heart. Normal activation utilizes the bundle of His and Purkinje fibers to produce a narrow (QRS) electrical signal.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
The technique of thread trigger finger release is the application of Guo Technique [2] and the procedure is similar to that of the thread carpal tunnel release. [ 3 ] The successful rate of TTFR is high and there are almost no complications such as incomplete release, neurovascular or flexor tendon or A2 pulley injury, infection, bow string, or ...
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI, ATC code M09AX02 ()) is a biomedical treatment that repairs damages in articular cartilage.ACI provides pain relief while at the same time slowing down the progression or considerably delaying partial or total joint replacement (knee replacement) surgery.
Merging of a joint involves removing the joint and surgically "fusing" the joint's end so that the two bones effectively form one solid bone. This surgery stops all movement at that joint and therefore eliminates the pain. [1] The benefit of fusion is pain relief and the downside is elimination of motion at the fused joint, which can hinder ...
Replantation or reattachment is defined as the surgical reattachment of a body part (such as a finger, hand. arm, toe, foot, or leg) that has been completely cut from the body. [1] Examples include reattachment of a partially or fully amputated finger, or reattachment of a kidney that had had an avulsion-type injury .
