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 aortic valve stenosis? Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems. Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening. Aortic stenosis restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and may also affect the pressure in the left atrium.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic valve stenosis). In this procedure, surgeons insert a catheter into the leg or chest and guide it to the heart.

Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis I35. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I35. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Syncope is in the ICD-10 coding system coded as R55. 9 (syncope and collapse).
A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the aortic valve. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the left ventricle into the aorta.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I35.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Aortic valve insufficiency is when the valve leaflets don’t meet to form a seal after allowing the contents of the heart chamber to be expelled. This lack of proper closure allows blood to leak back into the left ventricle, thus regurgitation. Symptoms of aortic insufficiency are basically the same as aortic stenosis. Additionally, the left ventricle can also be damaged, resulting in heart failure.
So, when coding aortic valve disease, you will need to know if the disease is stenosis or insufficiency or both , also whether other valves are also involved, and if the disease is rheumatic, nonrheumatic or congenital. A simple statement of “valve disease” will not allow you to code to the greatest specificity possible.
I08.0 Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and aortic valves
There are two main types of valve disease: stenosis and insufficiency . Stenosis of a heart valve is a narrowing of the valve opening, impeding the expulsion of the heart chamber contents. Stenosis of the aortic valve can negatively impact the patient resulting in fatigue, shortness of breath and poor exercise tolerance. Additionally, aortic stenosis can negatively impact the structure of the left ventricle causing it to lose efficiency which can lead to heart failure. Think of pushing against a closed door; eventually you will fatigue.
The most important valve is the aortic valve. It controls the exodus of blood from the left ventricle which then supplies the system. This valve is normally tricuspid, meaning there are three leaflets that control the release of blood associated with contraction of the heart chamber. A common congenital defect of the aortic valve is a bicuspid valve, meaning there are only two leaflets.
There are four valves in the heart that separate either the heart chambers from each other, or separate blood flow from heart blood flow. They are, in the left heart, the mitral and aortic valves and in the right heart, the tricuspid and pulmonary valves.
Coding for aortic valve disease requires the documentation of the type of disease. The disease is assumed to be nonrheumatic unless otherwise stated, but with a caveat. If there is unspecified aortic valve disease with mitral and/or tricuspid valve involvement, the disease is assumed to be rheumatic. Per ICD-10 Excludes 1 note, we are guided to code in the I08.x.
