Endocardial cushion defect (ECD) is a congenital (since birth) heart disease. With this condition, the walls (septum) that normally keep all four heart chambers separate don’t form right or are missing. Tricuspid and mitral valves that control blood flow between your heart’s upper and lower chambers don’t form correctly, either.

A spectrum of septal defects involving the atrial septum; ventricular septum; and the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid valve; bicuspid valve).
Endocardial cushion defects are congenital heart conditions that occur early in fetal life due to improperly developed heart tissue in the center of the heart (the endocardial cushion area of the heart). This results in a range of defects that are included in this category of endocardial cushion defects.
ICD-10 code: Q21. 1 Atrial septal defect | gesund.bund.de.
The endocardial cushions are two thicker areas that develop into the walls (septum) that divide the four chambers of the heart. They also form the mitral and tricuspid valves. These are the valves that separate the atria (top collecting chambers) from the ventricles (bottom pumping chambers).
This is called an ostium primum defect. The failure of the endocardial cushions to fuse results in an abnormally low position of the AV valves and an abnormally high position of the aortic valve.
Ventricular Septal Defect – VSD (ICD-10: Q21)
ICD-10 Code for Atrial septal defect- Q21. 1- Codify by AAPC.
A partial or incomplete atrioventricular septal defect is one in which the part of the ventricular septum made by the endocardial cushions has filled in. It is filled in by tissue from the AV valves or directly from the endocardial cushion tissue.
For example, the atrioventricular cushions are derived from adjacent endocardial cells; conotruncal cushions are derived from neural crest cells. The atrioventricular endocardial cushions are formed at the ventral and dorsal borders of the atrioventricular (AV) canal.
The endocardium is a thin, smooth tissue that makes up the lining of the chambers and valves of the heart. The innermost layer of the heart's walls, it serves as a barrier between cardiac muscles and the bloodstream and contains necessary blood vessels.
In AV septal defect, there is a hole between the right and left atria and a hole between the right and left ventricles. The valves between the atria and ventricles are not formed as they should be. In AV septal defect: There is a hole in the wall between the right and left atria (atrial septal defect, ASD).
Atrioventricular septal defect (ASVD) is a general term for a group of rare heart defects that are present at birth (congenital). Infants with ASVDs have improperly developed atrial and ventricular septa and adjoining valves. The normal heart has four chambers.
AVSDs are common in Down syndrome, and can occur with other genetic syndromes. However, this heart defect can develop in otherwise normal people. In those cases, we don't know what causes the heart to form abnormally.
Open-heart surgery. This open-heart repair surgery is the only way to fix primum, sinus venosus and coronary sinus atrial defects. Sometimes, atrial septal defect repair can be done using small incisions (minimally invasive surgery) and with a robot (robot-assisted heart surgery).

A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect. The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart. They can disrupt the normal flow of blood through the heart.
