Without treatment, coarctation of the aorta frequently leads to complications. In babies, it may lead to heart failure or death. High blood pressure is the most common long-term complication of coarctation of the aorta. Blood pressure usually drops after the aortic coarctation has been repaired, but may still be higher than normal.
Narrowing of the aorta (aortic coarctation, pronounced ko-ahrk-TAY-shun) forces your heart to pump harder to move blood through the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta is generally present at birth (congenital).
There are three types of aortic coarctations:
Causes. The exact cause of coarctation of the aorta is unknown. It results from abnormalities in development of the aorta prior to birth. Aortic coarctation is more common in people with certain genetic disorders, such as Turner syndrome.
Coarctation of the aorta is generally present at birth (congenital). Although the condition can affect any part of the aorta, the defect is most often located near a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus. Symptoms can range from mild to severe.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S22. 23XK became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S22.
ICD-10 Code for Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis- I35. 0- Codify by AAPC.
This spectrum is dichotomized by the idea that aortic coarctation occurs in the aortic arch, at or near the ductus arteriosus, whereas aortic stenosis occurs in the aortic root, at or near the aortic valve.
Diagnostic Studies Coarctation of the aorta is usually diagnosed by echocardiogram (ultrasound pictures of the heart). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging), cardiac CT (computerized tomography scan), and cardiac catheterization angiography also show aortic narrowing.

In ICD‐10, code I47. 1 (HCC 96), Supraventricular (paroxysmal) tachycardia, is inclusive of atrial tachycardia, PAT, SVT, and PSVT.

VSD is frequently present, and coarctation exacerbates the associated left-to-right shunt. Other levels of left heart obstruction (aortic stenosis, subaortic stenosis) may be present and may add to LV afterload.
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.
Bilateral symmetrical rib notching, readily appreciated on the chest image, is diagnostic of aortic coarctation. It is the result of obstruction of blood flow at the narrowed aortic segment, in conjunction with collateral blood flow through the intercostal arteries.
If present, a delay between bilateral radial pulses suggests narrowing of the aorta proximal to the left subclavian artery - classically in the context of coarctation of the aorta.
Q25.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of coarctation of aorta. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code Q251 is used to code Coarctation of the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta, or aortic narrowing (abbreviated as CoA), is a congenital condition whereby the aorta narrows in the area where the ductus arteriosus (ligamentum arteriosum after regression) inserts.
Coarctations are most common where the aorta—the major artery leading away from the heart—arches toward the abdomen and legs. The aortic arch may be small in babies with coarctations. Other heart defects may also occur when coarctation is present, typically occurring on the left side of the heart.
Q25.1 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Coarctation of aorta . 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 .
Q25.1 is exempt from POA reporting ( Present On Admission).
Other congenital malformations of aorta 1 Q25.4 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Q25.4 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q25.4 - other international versions of ICD-10 Q25.4 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q25.4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
