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):
Spinal stenosis, occipito-atlanto-axial region
Thoracic aortic calcification (TAC) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and for the cardiovascular imager, is predominantly encountered in 4 settings: 1) incidentally, for example, during a coronary artery calcium scan; 2) as part of dedicated screening; 3) in the evaluation of an embolic event; or 4) in procedural planning.
You may have been surprised when your doctor said you have mild aortic stenosis (AS), a defect that can narrow the aortic valve opening and restrict blood flow out of the heart to the aorta. However, in people with mild AS, symptoms are usually minor and may be dismissed as normal signs of aging.
Aortic stenosis is a type of heart valve disease. Your doctor may classify it as mild, moderate, or severe.
Personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system Z86. 79 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 Z86. 79 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Overview. 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.
Without treatment, a person's life expectancy with aortic stenosis after symptoms develop is 1–3 years. Around 50–68% of symptomatic people die within 2 years. Often, they die suddenly. However, aortic valve replacement surgery significantly increases life expectancy.
Aortic valve replacement is often needed to treat aortic valve stenosis. In aortic valve replacement, your surgeon removes the damaged valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue (biological tissue valve).

Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis I35. 0 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. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
There are two types of aortic stenosis:Acquired: Acquired stenosis means the condition developed after birth. It is the more common type of the condition, caused by either degeneration or rheumatic fever.Congenital: For people with congenital stenosis, the aortic valve never formed properly.
The development of heart failure in patients with aortic stenosis is associated with a high mortality rate — unless aortic-valve replacement is performed. There is an especially high risk of death among patients with aortic stenosis and a decreased ejection fraction.
Types of Structural Heart Disease Structural heart disease includes these conditions: Aortic valve stenosis. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Holes in the heart, including atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO)
An article from the e-journal of the ESC Council for Cardiology Practice. Retrospective studies suggest that statins (but not ACE-Inhibitors) reduce the progression of aortic stenosis, thereby creating new hope in the improvement of the clinical outcome of these patients through medical therapy.
Over a mean of 37 months, the mean gradient across the aortic valve increased by an average of 6.3 mm Hg per year, and the end-systolic diameter of the left ventricle increased by 1.9 mm per year. The rate of increase in gradient was slower in people with more severe stenosis at baseline.
Antihypertensive treatment with β-blockers has generally been avoided in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) due to the concerns for inducing left ventricular dysfunction and hemodynamic compromise in the presence of severe outflow tract obstruction.
A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the aortic valve. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the left ventricle into the aorta.

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