Over time, a bicuspid aortic valve degenerates and calcifies causing a disorder known as aortic stenosis. Those who have aortic stenosis, usually found in middle age, often have bicuspid aortic valve disease too. To prevent serious problems such as stroke, or even premature death, the aortic valve needs to be replaced.
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):
Calcification of aorta can have serious complications related to it. The very first complication of aortic calcification is having a risk of aortic valve stenosis. It blocks the valve due to calcium deposition thereby affecting the flow of blood throughout the body. Can calcification of aorta be reversed by diet? Mild calcification of the aorta is not a major concern.

A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve with only two cusps (or flaps) instead of three. The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle (chamber) to the aorta, the main artery delivering blood to your body.
Normally, the mitral valve is the only bicuspid valve and this is situated between the heart's left atrium and left ventricle. Heart valves play a crucial role in ensuring the unidirectional flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricles, or from the ventricle to the aorta or pulmonary trunk.
A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve that has two flaps (cusps) instead of three. It may cause a narrowed or obstructed aortic valve opening (aortic valve stenosis), making it difficult for the heart to pump blood into the body's main artery (aorta).
The mitral valve is also known as the bicuspid valve. This is one of the heart's four valves that help prevent blood from flowing backward as it moves through the heart.
•bicuspid valve (noun) mitral valve, Left Atrioventricular Valve.
The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body. It connects to the aorta, the main blood vessel leading to the body. Between the left ventricle and the aorta is the aortic valve, 1 of the heart's 4 valves.
A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve that has two cusps (flaps) instead of the usual three. It's the most common congenital heart defect and affects up to 2% of the population. A bicuspid aortic valve can cause serious complications like heart failure.
The aortic valve in a typical healthy heart has three flexible “leaflets” that open and close to send oxygen-rich blood on a one-way route from the heart to the aorta. But a person with a bicuspid aortic valve has only two leaflets (also known as flaps or cusps). This can lead to life-threatening problems.
The normal aortic valve has three leaflets, also known as cusps. Some people can be born with one, two or even four cusps of their aortic valve. The most common of these abnormalities is an aortic valve with two cusps — thus, a bicuspid aortic valve.
The bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve with two cusps found between the left atrium and left ventricle. The tricuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve with three cusps found between the right atrium and right ventricle.
