Prosthetic valve dysfunction at aortic position is commonly caused by pannus formation which is an uncommon, but serious complication. Its incidence varies between 1.8% in tilting disc to 0.73% in bileaflet valves [2]. All types of available prosthetic valves can be affected by pannus formation.
Aortic Valve Replacement (2) Surgical Biological Aortic Valves are made of biological tissue that can be xenogenic (bovine or porcine) or allogenic (homograft), stented or stentless. Durability is the main problem with these valves, which last between 10–15 years.
Presence of other heart-valve replacement Z95. 4 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 Z95. 4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
T82.857A2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T82. 857A: Stenosis of other cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter.
Types of biological valves include: Bovine (cow). This type is not an actual valve. Rather, it comes from tissue surrounding the cow's heart. The tissue is strong and flexible, and treating it prior to surgery prepares it so that your body can accept it without any negative immune response.
A homograft is an aortic or pulmonic valve that has been removed from a donated human heart, preserved, antibiotic-treated, and frozen under sterile conditions. A homograft may be used to replace a diseased aortic valve, or it may be used to replace the pulmonic valve during the Ross procedure.
Nonrheumatic aortic valve disorder, unspecified I35. 9 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. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z95. 2 - Presence of prosthetic heart valve. ICD-10-CM.
Z95. 2 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 Z95.
Artificial heart valves are often known as mechanical heart valves and made from metallic alloys or plastic materials. In bioprosthetic heart valves, the valve tissue is typically from an animal species and mounted on a frame, known as a bioprosthesis.
Bioprosthetic valves are generally made of either bovine pericardium or porcine aortic valves, but may also be produced from equine or porcine pericardium. The advantage of these bioprosthetic valves is that they do not require life-long anticoagulation.
The aortic valve is replaced with a new valve. Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) remains the standard therapy for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis due to a long and established track record of very low death and stroke rates and excellent long-term valve durability.
Tissue valves, which are made from pig heart valves or cow heart-sac tissue, typically last about 15 years. But they usually don't require the lifelong use of anti-clotting drugs. Older people are more vulnerable to the bleeding side effects of warfarin. They're also less likely to outlive their new valves.

This most commonly occurs when the valve cusps fail to open widely enough to let the blood through (aortic stenosis), or when it fails to close completely after the blood has left the heart, so that some blood leaks back in (aortic regurgitation).
To replace a heart valve, your doctor removes the heart valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue (biological tissue valve). Biological valves often eventually need to be replaced, as they break down over time.
Corneal neovascularization is the excessive ingrowth of blood vessels from the limbal vascular plexus into the cornea, caused by deprivation of oxygen from the air.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H16.422 and a single ICD9 code, 370.62 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
