Additional Info
Aortic Dissection
- Aortic dissection is a tear in the inner aortic wall, creating a false channel for blood, while rupture is the complete breach of all aortic layers, causing massive bleeding
- If, as is usually true, the dissection is in the setting of an aortic aneurysm, then code it as Aortic dissection (any part) with other relevant Aortic Aneurysm codes as combined ICD10 codes as appropriate:
The thoracic aorta includes:
- Aortic root
- Ascending aorta
- Aortic arch and a portion of the descending aorta
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Aortic dissection (any part) --- link this code if the aneurysm dissected
