A PTA fаculty member, whо nоrmаlly leаds a fairly sedentary life, participated in a 10K walk tо help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. Upon returning to school, she told Mrs. Hernandez she had a dull aching pain to the anterior muscles of her lower leg. She states it began during the walk and worsened this morning when she walked up the stairs to class. Mrs. H invites the instructor to visit with her students in Ther Ex, as they recently studied this condition. You and your classmates agree she presents with signs and symptoms of ___________________ and should immediately see her physician if the symptoms do not subside with rest.
RаdiоlоgyCT Scаn оf the Abdomen аnd PelvisHistory: Malignant testicular neoplasmTechnique: Axial CT images of the abdomen and pelvis were obtained with intravenous and oral contrast.Findings: Images of the lung bases are normal. Images of the abdomen show the liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, and adrenal glands to be normal. No mass is seen. There is no evidence of cholelithiasis. A retroaortic left renal vein is seen. No obvious mass or enlarged lymph nodes are noted in the retroperitoneum. Mesenteric structures appear normal. A prominent inferior vena cava is seen. Gas is identified in the left inguinal structures, likely representing previous left orchidectomy and removal of the inguinal ring. No enlarged lymph node is identified in the pelvis.Impression: Left retroaortic renal vein is seen. No adenopathy is noted within the abdomen or pelvis. No enlarged lymph node is seen; no mass is identified.Select the appropriate ICD-10-CM and CPT code(s):

RаdiоlоgyCT Scаn оf the Chest аnd AdrenalsHistory: Left pulmonary nodule on chest x-rayTechnique: Helical transaxial images, 7 mm, of the chest were obtained after the administration of oral and intravenous contrast.Findings: The patient’s chest x-rays from February 24 and 25 were reviewed. There is an ill-defined opacity suggested in the left midlung zones on those studies, including oblique views.Within the left lower lobe laterally, there is an approximately 2-cm area of parenchymal density that has the appearance of interstitial changes without findings of a significant nodule or mass. This finding can relate to scarring. There is no other nodule, mass, or effusion. Within the mediastinum, there is no evidence of adenopathy seen. The heart and great vessels are normal in appearance. There is a suggestion of minimal pericardial thickening anteriorly that is not specific. Osseous structures show degenerative changes with osteophyte formation at multiple levels in the thoracic spine.Visualized upper abdominal structures, including liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, aorta, and para-aortic retroperitoneum, show no specific finding. The adrenal glands are not enlarged.Impression: There is a small focal area of increased parenchymal density that has an interstitial pattern. There is no significant nodule or mass. This is suggestive of scarring. There is no nodule, mass, effusion, or adenopathy seen. Consider chest x-ray follow-up of this lesion to assess stability.Select the appropriate ICD-10-CM and CPT code(s):

Respirаtоry/CаrdiоvаscularPrоcedure: Permanent pacemaker implantationIndication for the procedure: Sick sinus syndrome with decreased mentation and confusionDescription of the procedure: After a detailed description of the procedure, indications, and potential risks of permanent pacemaker implantation was given to the patient as well as the patient’s daughter, informed consent was obtained. The patient was transferred to the cardiac catheterization lab. A left subclavian area was prepared and draped in the usual sterile manner, and the left subclavian vein was accessed by Seldinger technique. A guidewire was placed. The left subclavian vein was accessed, and a separate guidewire was also placed.Following this, a deep subcutaneous pacemaker pocket was created using the blunt dissection technique without any excessive bleeding.Following this, a French-7 introducer sheath was advanced over the guidewire, and the guidewire was removed. A Medtronic bipolar endocardial lead, model #5054 and serial #LEH025605V, was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance, and the tip of the pacemaker lead was positioned in the right ventricular apex.Following this, the French-9.5 introducer sheath was advanced over a separate guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance, and the guidewire was removed.Through this sheath, a bipolar atrial screw-in lead by Medtronic, model #4568, was selected. It was positioned in the right atrial appendage, and the lead was screwed in.Following this, the stimulation thresholds were obtained for the atrial lead. The amplitude was millivolts (mv) of resistance of 549 ohms, with pulse rate of 0.5 ms.Following the ventricular stimulation, threshold perimeters were obtained, including R-wave entry of 4.6 mv with resistance of 1,427 ohms, with a pulse wave of 0.5 ms. Minimum-stimulation threshold voltage was 0.4 volt for the ventricular lead, and minimal-stimulation voltage was 2 volts for the atrial lead.Select the appropriate ICD-10-CM and CPT code(s):
