This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.

If, as is usually true, the dissection is in the setting of an aortic aneurysm, then ALSO code the aneurysm, and link the two codes together.
If the chart says the dissection happened due to an aortic ulcer, that is just a type of dissection and does not need to be coded separately. In the extremely unusual situation where an aortic erosion or aortic ulcer is discovered without a dissection, code it under Disorder of artery/arteries, NOS.

Aneurysm codes:

if Abdominal Aorta is included in repair, also code

	Whoever added this said "excision" for repair... did you not mean Repair, since you said repair?

they excise the affected part of the aorta and use a graft to patch. So technically, a repair, but more extensive
