The partial thromboplastin time (PTT; also known as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) is a screening test that helps evaluate a person's ability to appropriately form blood clots. It measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in a sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added.

What is giddiness? Giddiness or dizziness is the feeling of being unbalanced and lightheaded. One might feel woozy or have the disorienting feeling of the surroundings spinning, reeling or moving. One might also feel faint or like one is about to faint. Giddiness is sometimes accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
Dizziness has many possible causes, including inner ear disturbance, motion sickness and medication effects. Sometimes it's caused by an underlying health condition, such as poor circulation, infection or injury. The way dizziness makes you feel and your triggers provide clues for possible causes.

Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS, First Quarter 2017, which became effective March 15 , provides interesting perspectives regarding coding and documentation for Impell®, an implantable heart pump device that supports a patient’s circulation and, when implanted or removed, has a significant effect on MS-DRGs or APR-DRGs.
This advice in Coding Clinic, First Quarter 2017, pp. 10–14, makes it very clear that the insertion of an Impella device cannot be coded if it occurs after the start of a procedure and then is removed prior to or at the end of the procedure. The issue states (emphasis added): “Assign a code for the assistance only [5A0] when an external heart assist device such as the Impella is inserted intraoperatively and removed at the completion of the procedure. It would not be appropriate to assign a code for the insertion of the device.”
Coding Clinic does allow us to code the insertion and/or removal of an Impella device if its removal occurs outside the confines of a surgical procedure. On p. 11, it states that these codes are assigned when an Impella device, implanted during surgery, is left in for a few hours postoperatively. In this case, Coding Clinic suggests that the following codes would be assigned:
On the other hand, the ICD-10-PCS performance codes for Impella [5A0-] may have a different effect, or no effect at all, if not paired with an Impella insertion or removal code. Learn more about Impella here.
