In addition to this list there may be further diagnoses in the Category:Diagnoses not coded.

Surgeries or procedures not currently coded

• Epicardial wires placed via mini-thorocotomy for improving contractility in Dilated Cardiomyopathy patients.
  • use medical reason for procedure ie congestive heart failure or specific arrhythmia)
• Repair of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and foramen ovale.
  • use ASD repair for foramen ovale repair 75801 Cardiac Septal Repair - atrial
• ERCP
  • use Any GI scope)
• some Stent insertions for which we don't have a specific code
  • use?
• Angio for embolization (renal and GI)
  • use vascular embolization
• removal of PD catheter (not coded)
• ileostomy
  • we do have a Colostomy code perhaps we should use this but right now we do not code ileostomy
    • Trish, does that sound like a plan? Ttenbergen 23:10, 2015 January 26 (CST) Template:Discussion
      • No. Colostomy is pretty specific so don't stick ileostomy in here also. Since we will move to ICU 10 at some point, this should be discussed at Task meeting if we want to add ileo's as a separate DX code. Trish Ostryzniuk 18:03, 2015 January 27 (CST)
        • use Other GI OR
• Bentall procedure
  • use AVR Repair/Replace or TAA Repair)
• TAVI (trans catheter aortic valve implantation) (done in cath lab)
  • use AVR Repair/Replace
• TEVAR (trans endovascular aneurysm repair)
  • use regular aneurysm repair (AAA Repair or TAA Repair)
• Bilroth I &II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billroth_II)
  • use Bowel Resection or other specific interventions done in surgical procedure
• Roux-en-Y procedure (a type of gastric bypass surgery)
  • use Other GI OR
• lumbar punctures and lumbar drains
  • (could use 831 other neurosurgical procedures: other)
    • do you mean Other Head/Neck-OR Procedures? Trish, does that sound like a plan? Ttenbergen 23:10, 2015 January 26 (CST) Template:Discussion
    • Lumbar punctures are not head or neck so this is incorrect. Neurosurgical procedures would work. --LKolesar 10:25, 2015 February 4 (CST)
      • can't find any Neurosurgical procedures or neuro or or similar, can you explain? Or maybe it would need to be Other OR Procedures

Medical Diagnoses not currently coded

Some suggested options given for coding; some items have no suggestion as we are not currently interested in coding them at this time.

• Perforated Duodenal Ulcer
  • use as applicable:
    • Perforation-Bowel Nontraumatic
    • Closure of Perforated Bowel
• Mallory Weiss Tear
  • use other UGIB
    • as in Upper GI Bleed? Ttenbergen 23:20, 2015 January 26 (CST)
• Shock Liver
  • use Nonalcoholic Liver Disease - Ischemic 40811
• Liver congestion related to R Ventricular failure
  • use Nonalcoholic Liver Disease - Ischemic 40811
• New diagnosis of diabetes mellitus(not coded)
• Coronary artery stent thrombosis or coronary artery thrombosis
  • use Art/Ven Embolus/Thrombus Note: coronary artery thrombosis is the usual mechanism for an MI, so if you are coding MI, this covers this. Stent thrombosis is not currently coded.
• Radiation enteritis (not currently coded)
• Scabies
  • use Soft Tissue Infection (includes Cellulitis), OTHER-Parasite)
• Hepatopulmonary syndrome - use each individual problem eg
  • Fulminant Hepatic Failure)
  • Non Fulminant Hepatic Failure
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • ARDS
• Depression, bipolar and other psychiatric diagnosis (except Schizophrenia & Psychosis) - do not code
• Distributive shock 2nd to surgery, drugs, inflammation, etc.
  • use hypotension NYD
  • Template:Discussion if you mean Hypotension NYD (not due to shock or post op) then the name of the article seems inconsistent with this instruction]]. We were told to use this code even though it makes no sense. It would be nice to have a distributive shock code so we would not have this contradictory coding going on. --LKolesar 10:39, 2014 December 12 (CST)
• pneumobilia--CMarks 10:16, 2015 January 27 (CST)
• Right ventricular dysfunction
  • can use Pulmonary Hypertension if this is also true; or use Congestive Heart Failure - other)

  • code each issue separately ie. ARF and Cardiogenic Shock
