ICD10 code of Bicuspid Aortic Valve and ICD9 code

The ICD-10 code for Bicuspid Aortic Valve is Q23.1. This code is used to classify a congenital heart defect where the aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the heart to the aorta, has only two leaflets instead of the normal three. This condition is present at birth and can lead to various complications such as aortic stenosis or regurgitation.

In the previous ICD-9 system, the equivalent code for Bicuspid Aortic Valve was 746.4. However, it is important to note that the ICD-9 codes were replaced by ICD-10 codes worldwide, including in the United States, as of October 1, 2015. The transition to ICD-10 allows for more detailed and specific coding, improving accuracy and enhancing the ability to track and analyze medical conditions.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve is a relatively common congenital heart defect, affecting approximately 1-2% of the population. It is often diagnosed during childhood or adolescence, but some individuals may not be aware of their condition until adulthood. Regular monitoring and appropriate medical management are essential to address any potential complications and ensure optimal cardiovascular health.

Please consult a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for further information and guidance regarding the specific ICD-10 code or any medical condition.
