I70.0I70. 0 - Atherosclerosis of aorta | ICD-10-CM.
The entire aorta divides into two parts: the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta. The ascending aorta, along with the aortic arch and the descending aorta, makes up the thoracic aorta.
The thoracic aorta runs from the aortic arch to the diaphragm, which is the point of separation between the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity. It provides blood to the muscles of the chest wall and the spinal cord.
The Thoracic Aorta has 4 distinct parts: Aortic Root – Lies in the front portion of the chest below the sternum. It starts at the level of the heart and includes the aortic valve and the portion where the coronary arteries arise called the Sinus of Valsalva.
The aorta is the largest artery in the body and is the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all parts of the body. The section of the aorta that runs through the chest is called the thoracic aorta and, as the aorta moves down through the abdomen it is called the abdominal aorta.
ICD-10 code I71. 2 for Thoracic aortic aneurysm, without rupture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Aortic valve calcification is a condition in which calcium deposits form on the aortic valve in the heart. These deposits can cause narrowing at the opening of the aortic valve. This narrowing can become severe enough to reduce blood flow through the aortic valve — a condition called aortic valve stenosis.
What is atherosclerosis of the aorta? Having atherosclerosis (say "ath-uh-roh-skluh-ROH-sis") of the aorta means that a material called plaque (fat and calcium) has built up in the inside wall of a large blood vessel called the aorta. This plaque buildup is sometimes called "hardening of the arteries."
The descending aorta, also known as the thoracic aorta (Figs 3.26, 3.30), commences where the arch of the aorta ends at the lower border of T4 vertebra. It lies on the left side of the vertebral column in the upper part of the posterior mediastinum.
Typically, there are three branches arising from the aortic arch: the brachiocephalic trunk or artery (also referred to as the innominate artery), the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery.
brachiocephalic arteryBrachiocephalic trunk: also called the brachiocephalic artery, is the first and largest artery that branches off the aortic arch.
MnemonicA: arch of aorta.B: brachiocephalic trunk.C: left common carotid artery.S: left subclavian artery.
There is a single code (+34713) for percutaneous access and closure of the femoral artery; however, it is assigned only when a large sheath (12 French or larger) is required for delivery of the endograft. It includes ultrasound guided vascular access (e.g., +76937), when performed, and placement of dual closure devices. This code may be reported once, per side. Do not use +34713 with 37221, 37223, 37236, or 37237 when treating atherosclerotic disease with a covered stent.
1. Multiple surgical codes (34800-34806, 34825-34826, 34900) and radiological supervision and interpretation (S&I) codes (75952-75954) were deleted and replaced with new codes describing endovascular repair of the abdominal aorta and/or iliac arteries. The new codes are assigned not only for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, but also for treatment of pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, or traumatic disruption of the aorta or iliac arteries. Some existing codes were revised for 2018, as well.#N#Editor’s Note: See the “Code Descriptors” sidebar for full code descriptions.
