The procedure code 02RX0KZ is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the heart and great vessels body system, classified under the replacement operation. The applicable bodypart is thoracic aorta, ascending/arch. 02RX0KZ replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10-PCS code (s):
Using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes, we defined stroke-related diagnosis as I60–I64.
Use CPT code 68801 (Dilation of lacrimal punctum, with or without irrigation) or 68840 (Probing of lacrimal canaliculi, with or without irrigation) to report this procedure, depending on the position and manipulation of the irrigating cannula. As with other lacrimal procedures, the multiple surgery rule applies.

Nevertheless, by common convention, aortic dilatation refers to a dimension that is greater than the 95th percentile for the normal person age, sex and body size. In contrast, an aneurysm is defined as a localized dilation of the aorta that is more than 50% of predicted (ratio of observed to expected diameter ≥ 1.5).
Otherwise known as an aortic root aneurysm, a dilated aortic root is when the first section of the aorta, where the aortic valve resides, becomes enlarged. When this enlargement reaches a critical size, there is a risk of it rupturing or tearing, leading to a life-threatening situation.
2 Thoracic aortic aneurysm, without rupture.
An ascending aortic aneurysm is a weak spot in the top part of your aorta, which is the main artery in your body. The aneurysm bulges outward, and may cause your blood vessel wall to tear or break open. It's a life-threatening condition.
Causes of thoracic aortic aneurysms may include: Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Plaque buildup on the artery walls causes the arteries to become less flexible. Additional pressure can cause the arteries to weaken and widen (dilate).
66% of our patients were males and 34% females. 146 patients were found to have aortic dilatation. Therefore, the incidence of aortic dilatation was 6.8% in our study population.
The most common type of surgery is open abdominal or chest repair, where the doctor opens up your chest or abdomen, depending on where the problem is, removes the bulge in your aorta, and replaces it with a fabric tube called a graft.

ICD-10 code I71 for Aortic aneurysm and dissection is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Abdominal – Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm – AAA (ICD-10: I71)
The most common type of surgery is open abdominal or chest repair, where the doctor opens up your chest or abdomen, depending on where the problem is, removes the bulge in your aorta, and replaces it with a fabric tube called a graft.

There is as yet no proven way to prevent an aortic aneurysm from rupturing, other than surgery to repair the artery. Regular medical care to monitor the aneurysm's size and growth will help you and your healthcare provider decide if or when surgery is appropriate.
Eliason: Right now, there is no proven nonsurgical therapy. Minimally invasive surgery is the least-stressful option we can offer certain patients. An enlarged aorta will typically continue to get larger regardless of risk factor modification.
