Note that the following question requires additional access to DRG grouper software. Instructions: Provide the most correct responses. An 85-year-old man presents with the complaint of shortness of breath and fatigue. Both of these symptoms have become worse over the past month. The patient is an active man and works with his son and grandson in a real estate business. These symptoms are preventing him from working. His past medical history includes bypass grafting 12 years ago. The patient is admitted for further workup and treatment. Diagnostic testing reveals that the patient has aortic valve stenosis. This is confirmed by catheterization. A right and left cardiac catheterization confirms that the patient’s previous bypass graft is working well. Surgery for aortic valve replacement with synthetic substitute is performed. Postoperatively, the patient’s gout was exacerbated in his right foot. He does have a history of this condition. Oral medication is given to treat the gout, and on postoperative day four, the patient is discharged home in an improved condition. FINAL DIAGNOSES: Aortic stenosis. Previous bypass graft surgery. Gout, right foot. PROCEDURES: Aortic valve replacement (open approach). Right and left cardiac catheterization (percutaneous approach). a. Assign ICD-10-CM codes to the principal diagnosis. b. Assign ICD-10-PCS codes to the principal procedure.
