The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
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):
According to ASE guidelines, a regurgitant fraction of less than 30% indicates mild aortic regurgitation (grade I), 30% to 39% indicates mild-to-moderate aortic regurgitation (grade II), 39% to 49% indicates moderate-to-severe AR (grade III) and 50% or greater indicates severe aortic regurgitation (grade IV).
Rheumatic aortic valve disease, unspecified I06. 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 I06. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10-CM Code for Nonrheumatic mitral (valve) insufficiency I34. 0.
ICD-10-CM I08. 9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 306 Cardiac congenital and valvular disorders with mcc. 307 Cardiac congenital and valvular disorders without mcc.
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.
The trileaflet mitral valve is a very rare congenital malformation with three equal size leaflets and three papillary muscles.
Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency I35. 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 I35. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Aortic regurgitation may be a chronic disease process or it may occur acutely, presenting as heart failure. The most common cause of chronic aortic regurgitation used to be rheumatic heart disease, but presently it is most commonly caused by bacterial endocarditis.
Congenital bicuspid aortic valve stenosis is a major common cause of aortic stenosis; the approximate overall incidence of an anatomic bicuspid aortic valve is 1% to 2% of the population. Of these, about one half will develop aortic stenosis and up to one third will develop aortic regurgitation.
Stenosis is when the valve opening becomes narrow and restricts blood flow. Prolapse is when a valve slips out of place or the valve flaps (leaflets) do not close properly. Regurgitation is when blood leaks backward through a valve, sometimes due to prolapse.
Regurgitation - when blood leaks back through the valve in the wrong direction. Mitral valve prolapse - when one of the valves, the mitral valve, has "floppy" flaps and doesn't close tightly. It's one of the most common heart valve conditions. Sometimes it causes regurgitation.
I35.1 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of nonrheumatic aortic (valve) insufficiency. The code I35.1 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The code is commonly used in cardiology medical specialties to specify clinical ...
Valve problems can be present at birth or caused by infections, heart attacks, or heart disease or damage. The main sign of heart valve disease is an unusual heartbeat sound called a heart murmur.
Valvular heart disease is any disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left and the pulmonary and tricuspid valves on the right). These conditions occur largely as a result of aging. Most people are in their late 50s when diagnosed, and more than one in ten people over 75 have it.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

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 I35.1 and a single ICD9 code, 424.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
