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):
The ICD-10-CM code I70.0 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abdominal aortic atherosclerosis, aortic arch atherosclerosis, aortoiliac atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis of abdominal aorta, arteriosclerosis of aorta , arteriosclerosis of thoracic aorta, etc.
Stages
Aortic valve stenosis — or aortic stenosis — occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. The valve doesn't open fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from your heart into the main artery to your body (aorta) and to the rest of your body. Your treatment depends on the severity of your condition.
ICD-10 code I35. 1 for Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) insufficiency is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
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 stenosis, in which the valve fails to open fully, thereby obstructing blood flow out from the heart. Aortic insufficiency, also called aortic regurgitation, in which the aortic valve is incompetent and blood flows passively back to the heart in the wrong direction.

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR)
Aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by calcium buildup on the aortic valve over time. These calcium deposits that often come with age make the valve tissue stiff, narrow, and unyielding.
Aortic regurgitation (AR), also known as aortic insufficiency, is a form of valvular heart disease that allows for the retrograde flow of blood back into the left ventricle. Chronic AR was initially described by Corrigan in the 19th century by observing syphilitic patients.
Aortic regurgitation, or aortic insufficiency, is a condition that affects the aortic valve and the flow of blood through it to the heart. The aortic valve has flaps (called cusps or leaflets) that control the blood flow through the valve.
Valvular insufficiency is a cardiac disease characterized by the failure of one or more of the heart valves to close perfectly resulting blood flowing backwards across the valve (valvular regurgitation or leaking).

I35.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.

I08.0 Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and aortic valves
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.
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.
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.
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.
