Relevant ICD-10 codes. Q20.3 Transposition of great arteries. Note: Transposed great arteries can also occur as part of complex heart anomalies such as heterotaxy. Because of this heterogeneity, it is recommended that public health surveillance track separately the simple forms of d-TGA.
Incomplete transposition of great vessels L - transposition of the great vessels Levotransposition of the great arteries Transposition of great vessels, complete Clinical Information A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the aorta arises entirely from the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery from the left ventricle.
Q20.3is 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 Q20.3became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q20.3- other international versions of ICD-10 Q20.3may differ. Applicable To Dextrotransposition of aorta
Transposition of great arteries Transposed great arteries can also occur as part of complex heart anomalies such as heterotaxy. Because of this heterogeneity, it is recommended that public health surveillance track separately the simple forms of d-TGA.
Español (Spanish) Dextro-Transposition (pronounced DECKS-tro trans-poh-ZI-shun) of the Great Arteries or d-TGA is a birth defect of the heart in which the two main arteries carrying blood out of the heart – the main pulmonary artery and the aorta – are switched in position, or “transposed.”
ICD-10 code R23. 0 for Cyanosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
In cases of transposition of the great arteries, these vessels begin from the wrong ventricle. They are "transposed" from their normal position. The aorta starts from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery from the left ventricle. Other heart defects may occur along with transposition of the great arteries.

A bluish color to the skin or mucous membrane is usually due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. The medical term is cyanosis.
Dextro-Transposition of the great arteries (also known as dextro-TGA) is a cyanotic heart defect in which the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle.
In TGA, venous blood returns normally to the heart through the right atrium. But, instead of going to the lungs to absorb oxygen, this blood is pumped out through the aorta and back to the body. This blood has not been recharged with oxygen and leads to cyanosis.
In congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA), the heart twists abnormally during fetal development, and the ventricles are reversed: The stronger left ventricle pumps blood to the lungs and the weaker right ventricle has the harder chore of pumping blood to the entire body.
Some examples include:Coarctation or complete interruption of the aorta.Ebstein anomaly.Hypoplastic left heart syndrome.Tetralogy of Fallot.Total anomalous pulmonary venous return.Transposition of the great arteries.Truncus arteriosus.
Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall, that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart. It is a most common congenital heart defect.
Which of the following conditions would be reported with code Q65. 81? Imaging of the renal area reveals congenital left renal agenesis and right renal hypoplasia.
Q20.3 has also been used for cases of l-TGA, as there is not a specific code for it unless it occurs as part of corrected transposition of the great vessels (Q20.5). For public health surveillance, l-TGA should not be coded with Q20.3 in order to track d-TGA appropriately.
d (dextro)-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is a structural heart anomaly characterized clinically by cyanosis (usually) and anatomically by an abnormal origin of the great arteries, such that the aorta exits from the right ventricle (instead of the left) and the pulmonary artery exits from the left ventricle (instead of the right) (see Fig. 4.16 ). d-TGA can occur with or without a ventricular septal defect. These two forms are sometimes called “incomplete” and “complete”#N#d-TGA, respectively, though these terms are infrequently used and are not particularly useful.
Prenatal. d-TGA can be suspected prenatally on a second trimester obstetric anatomic scan – with the outflow tract view being especially important – but can be missed. Prenatally diagnosed or suspected cases should be confirmed postnatally.
Transposed great arteries can also occur as part of complex heart anomalies such as heterotaxy. Because of this heterogeneity, it is recommended that public health surveillance track separately the simple forms of d-TGA. These can be defined as those with at most a ventricular septal defect and limited valvar involvement, and excludes those cases that, for example, are part of heterotaxy or single ventricle phenotype (Q20.4).
