The ICD-10-CM code to support AAA screening is Z13. 6 Encounter for screening for cardiovascular disorders [abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)].
2 Thoracic aortic aneurysm, without rupture.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm, without rupture I71. 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 I71. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
33858 Ascending aorta graft, with cardiopulmonary bypass, includes valve suspension, when performed; for aortic dissection. 33859 for aortic disease other than dissection (eg, aneurysm)
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 150.9 : Malignant neoplasm of esophagus, unspecified site.
Abdominal – Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm – AAA (ICD-10: I71)
An ascending aortic aneurysm is an abnormal bulging and weakening in your aorta at the point before the curve. If an aortic aneurysm ruptures, it can cause life-threatening bleeding. An aneurysm at risk for rupture needs surgical repair.
I71.0I71. 0 - Dissection of aorta | ICD-10-CM.
The entire aorta divides into two parts: the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta. The ascending aorta, along with the aortic arch and the descending aorta, makes up the thoracic aorta.
Aortic dissections are divided into two groups, depending on which part of the aorta is affected: Type A. This more common and dangerous type involves a tear in the part of the aorta where it exits the heart. The tear may also occur in the upper aorta (ascending aorta), which may extend into the abdomen.
In the Stanford classification of aortic dissection: Type A involves the ascending aorta and may progress to involve the arch and thoracoabdominal aorta. Type B involves the descending thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta distal to the left subclavian artery without involvement of ascending aorta.
A serious complication of a thoracic aortic aneurysm is an aortic dissection. This is a tear in the aortic lining. It can occur anywhere along the aorta. An aortic dissection starts with a tear in the inner layer of the aortic wall of the thoracic aorta. This can be a life-threatening emergency.
What are the symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm?Pain in the jaw, neck, or upper back.Pain in the chest or back.Wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath as a result of pressure on the trachea (windpipe)Hoarseness as a result of pressure on the vocal cords.Trouble swallowing due to pressure on the esophagus.
Most people with a thoracic aortic aneurysm have open-chest surgery, but sometimes a less-invasive procedure called endovascular surgery can be done. The type of surgery done depends on the specific health condition and the location of the thoracic aortic aneurysm. Open-chest surgery.
If the walls of the aorta become weak, an enlargement can occur, which is known as an aortic aneurysm. Aneurysms can form in any section of the aorta, but are most common in the abdomen (abdominal aortic aneurysm) or the upper body (thoracic aortic aneurysm).
