The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).
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.
What is the correct ICD-10-CM code to report the External Cause? Your Answer: V80.010S The External cause code is used for each encounter for which the injury or condition is being treated.
Constrictive pericarditis – Constrictive pericarditis is the result of scarring and consequent loss of the normal elasticity of the pericardial sac. Pericardial constriction is typically chronic, but variants include subacute, transient, and occult constrictive pericarditis.
Constrictive pericarditis is long-term, or chronic, inflammation of the pericardium. The pericardium is the sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. Inflammation in this part of the heart causes scarring, thickening, and muscle tightening, or contracture.
These are the same condition, but "restrictive pericarditis" is no longer in common use.
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and pericardial tamponade are two different entities with different pathophysiology and treatment modalities. However, infrequently patients can present with comparable clinical features, equivocal electrocardiogram (ECG), and analogous echocardiogram and MRI findings.
In restrictive cardiomyopathy, reduced compliance is caused by abnormal elastic properties of the myocardium and/or intercellular matrix, whereas in constrictive pericarditis, reduced chamber compliance is imposed by the external pericardial constraint.
Acute pericarditis: inflammation of the pericardium that either occurs as an isolated process or with concurrent myocarditis (myopericarditis). Constrictive pericarditis is characterized by compromised cardiac function caused by a thickened, rigid, and fibrous pericardium secondary to acute pericarditis.
Chronic pericardial inflammation can result in constrictive pericarditis. Tuberculosis is the most common cause of constrictive pericarditis in developing regions of the world [6,7-9].
Effusive–constrictive pericarditis is a clinical hemodynamic syndrome in which constriction of the heart by the visceral pericardium occurs in the presence of tense effusion in a free pericardial space.
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a potentially curable cause of diastolic heart failure. The scarred, and non-compliant pericardium causes restraint to early diastolic ventricular filling, resulting in the equalisation of intracardiac diastolic filling pressures, producing the so-called “single diastolic chamber”.
Cardiac tamponade — which is sometimes called pericardial tamponade — happens when the pericardium fills with fluid (especially blood).
Pericardial effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the pericardium, the sac that holds your heart. When it happens quickly or involves a large amount of fluid, the excess fluid can take up too much space in the pericardium, compressing your heart and causing a life-threatening condition known as cardiac tamponade.
Potential complications of pericarditis include: Fluid buildup around the heart (pericardial effusion). The fluid buildup can lead to further heart complications. Thickening and scarring of the heart lining (constrictive pericarditis).
Constrictive pericarditis is a condition in which granulation tissue formation in the pericardium results in loss of pericardial elasticity leading to restriction in the ventricular filling. It is usually a chronic condition however subacute, transient and occult variants have been described.
Chronic pericarditis:Inflammation of the pericardium that lasts for three months or longer after the initial acute attack. Constrictive pericarditis: A severe form of pericarditis in which the inflamed layers of the pericardium stiffen, develop scar tissue, thicken and stick together.
Acute pericarditis is a painful condition where the fluid-filled pouch around your heart is inflamed. This can happen because of infections, cancer or heart surgery.
The main types of pericarditis include viral and bacterial pericarditis, constrictive pericarditis, post-heart attack pericarditis, chronic effusive pericarditis and pericarditis following heart surgery.
Constrictive pericarditis is a medical condition characterized by a thickened, fibrotic pericardium, limiting the heart's ability to function normally. In many cases, the condition continues to be difficult to diagnose and therefore benefits from a good understanding of the underlying cause.
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 exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 423.2 was previously used, I31.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
