Nomenclature for congenital heart disease

Introduction

The art and science of outcomes analysis and quality improvement for pediatric and congenital cardiac care continues to evolve. This chapter reviews the evolution of systems of nomenclature and classification for pediatric and congenital cardiac care and presents a global system of nomenclature for pediatric and congenital cardiac care that unifies clinical and administrative nomenclature.

Congenital cardiac malformations are the most common types of birth defects. In 1936, Maude Abbott, curator of the McGill Pathological Museum at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, published her Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease, which was the first formal attempt to classify congenital heart disease (CHD). Since that time, substantial progress has been made in the standardization of nomenclature and classification for pediatric and congenital cardiac care.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary [ https://www.merriam-webster.com/ ] defines nomenclature as “a system or set of names, terms, or symbols in a particular science, discipline or field of knowledge.” Meanwhile, the Cambridge Dictionary [ https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/ ] defines nomenclature as “a system for naming things in a particular area of science.” This chapter will review nomenclature for pediatric and congenital cardiac care, discuss historical considerations and the basic principles of nomenclature, and summarize The International Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Code ( IPCCC ) , which is the pediatric and congenital cardiac component of the Eleventh Revision of the International Classification of Diseases ( ICD-11 ) . , , ,

Contemporary estimates of the prevalence of congenital cardiac disease range from 8 to 12 per 1000 live births. Survival after surgery for congenital heart defects has increased over the past decade, especially for the most complex operations. The etiology of this improvement is multifactorial, but the ability to compare risk-stratified and risk-adjusted outcomes at individual programs to national and international aggregate benchmarks certainly facilitated these improved cardiac surgical outcomes over time. This benchmarking and improvement in quality requires standardization of the nomenclature and classification of pediatric and congenital cardiac disease.

Historical considerations

Advances in the nomenclature and classification of pediatric and congenital cardiac care and the congenitally malformed heart evolved from the major contributions of pioneers in the descriptions and understanding of the anatomy and morphology of congenital cardiac malformations, including Maude Abbott from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Lodewyk H.S. van Mierop from University of Florida, Richard and Stella Van Praagh from Harvard University and Boston Children’s Hospital, and Robert H. Anderson from The Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, England, United Kingdom.

The development of classification schemes specific to the congenitally malformed heart began with Maude Abbott’s pioneering work in the early 1900s. , Her landmark publication in 1936, Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease, was the first formal attempt to classify the lesions seen in the congenitally malformed heart. ,

  • In 1906, Maude Abbott cofounded the International Association of Medical Museums, with William Osler. In 1907, she became the International Secretary of the International Association of Medical Museums, and she edited the institution’s articles for 31 years (1907–1938).

  • In 1910, Abbott was awarded an honorary medical degree from McGill and was made a lecturer in Pathology (8 years prior to the university admitting female students to the Faculty of Medicine).

  • In 1936, Abbott published the Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease , which illustrated a new classification system and described records of over a thousand clinical and postmortem cases.

In the 1990s, efforts were made to create a truly international system of nomenclature and classification to support pediatric and congenital cardiac care. Prior to these efforts, multiple systems were used across the world and were the basis of internal, national, and even international registries and databases of pediatric and congenital cardiac care. , ,

Facilitated by advances in information technology, two independent international pediatric and congenital cardiac systems of nomenclature and classification were established in the 1990s:

  • The European Paediatric Cardiac Code (EPCC) of The Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC), published in 2000 ,

  • The nomenclature system of the International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) in North America, The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), and The European Congenital Heart Defects Database of The European Congenital Heart Surgeons Foundation (ECHSF; renamed The European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association [ECHSA] in 2003), published in 2000 in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery as a 372-page free-standing supplement

Both the EPCC and the International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project included a comprehensive Long List with thousands of terms and a Short List designed to be used as part of a minimum data set for multi-institutional registries and databases. Both Long Lists are mapped fully to their respective Short Lists.

The nearly simultaneous publication of these two complementary systems of nomenclature led to the problematic situation of having two competing systems of nomenclature, with the potential risk of duplicate or inaccurate coding within institutions secondary to confusion between the two systems. Therefore, on October 6, 2000, in Frankfurt, Germany, during the meeting of ECHSF prior to the 14th Annual Meeting of EACTS, representatives of the involved Societies met and established The International Nomenclature Committee for Paediatric and Congenital Heart Disease , which was to include representatives of the four societies (AEPC, STS, ECHSF, and EACTS), as well as representatives from the remaining continents of the world: Africa, Asia, Australia (Oceania), and South America. , , In January 2005, The International Society for Nomenclature of Paediatric and Congenital Heart Disease (ISNPCHD) was constituted and legally incorporated in Canada.

Following the meeting in Frankfurt in 2000, a rule-based bidirectional crossmap between the two Short Lists was created and published by The International Working Group for Mapping and Coding of Nomenclatures for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease (also known as the Nomenclature Working Group [ NWG ]). , ,

Over the next 8 years, the NWG met 10 times on all continents except Antarctica, over a combined period of 47 days, to achieve the main goal of mapping the two comprehensive Long Lists to each other to create the IPCCC, which is available for download from the Internet at [ https://www.IPCCC.net ]. The IPCCC has two primary versions :

  • The version of the IPCCC derived from the EPCC of AEPC

  • The version of the IPCCC derived from the International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project of EACTS, ECHSA, and STS

These two versions of the IPCCC are crossmapped to each other and are also often referred to with the following abbreviated short names:

  • EACTS-STS derived version of the IPCCC

  • AEPC derived version of the IPCCC

This common nomenclature, the IPCCC and the common minimum database data set created and published by The International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project , are now utilized by the overwhelming majority of multi-institutional databases of pediatric and congenital cardiac care throughout the world. The following databases all use the EACTS-STS derived version of the IPCCC:

  • The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database (STS CHSD) , ,

  • The European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association Congenital Heart Surgery Database (ECHSA CHSD) , ,

  • The Japan Congenital Cardiovascular Surgery Database (JCCVSD) , ,

  • The World Database for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WDPCHS)

Both versions of the IPCCC Short Lists have been used to develop empirical systems for the adjustment of risk following surgical procedures, based on the operation type and comorbidities, for quality assurance and quality improvement purposes.

Principles of nomenclature

Clinical versus administrative nomenclature

Several studies have examined the relative utility of clinical and administrative nomenclature for the evaluation of quality of care for patients undergoing treatment for pediatric and congenital cardiac disease. The validity of coding of lesions seen in the congenitally malformed heart via the 9th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) is poor, as evidenced by the following analyses , , , :

  • In a series of 373 infants with congenital cardiac defects at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, only 52% of the cardiac diagnoses in the medical records had a corresponding code from the ICD-9 in the hospital discharge database.

  • The Hennepin County Medical Center discharge database in Minnesota identified all infants born during 2001 with a code for congenital cardiac disease using ICD-9. A review of these 66 medical records by physicians was able to confirm only 41% of the codes that were contained in the ICD-9 based administrative database.

  • The Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defect Program of the Birth Defect Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States government carried out surveillance of infants and fetuses with cardiac defects delivered to mothers residing in Atlanta during the years 1988 through 2003. These records were reviewed and classified using both administrative coding and the clinical nomenclature used in the STS CHSD. This study concluded that analyses based on the codes available in ICD-9 are likely to “have substantial misclassification” of congenital cardiac disease.

  • A study using linked patient data (2004–2010) from the STS CHSD, a clinical registry, and the Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS) database, an administrative database, from hospitals participating in both, evaluated differential coding/classification of operations between datasets and subsequent impact on outcomes assessment. The cohort included 59,820 patients from 33 centers. There was a greater than 10% difference in the number of cases identified between data sources for half of the benchmark operations. The negative predictive value (NPV) of the administrative (versus clinical) data was high (98.8%–99.9%); the positive predictive value (PPV) was lower (56.7%–88.0%). These differences translated into significant differences in outcomes assessment, ranging from an underestimation of mortality associated with truncus arteriosus repair by 25.7% in the administrative versus clinical data (7.01% versus 9.43%; P =.001) to an overestimation of mortality associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair by 31.0% (0.78% versus 0.60%; P =.1). This study demonstrated differences in case ascertainment between administrative and clinical registry data for children undergoing cardiac operations, which resulted in important differences in the assessment of outcomes.

These challenges and problems persist with the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Several potential reasons can explain the poor diagnostic accuracy of administrative databases and codes from ICD-9 and even ICD-10:

  • Accidental miscoding

  • Coding performed by medical records clerks who have never seen the patient (i.e., coding performed by personnel not involved in the care of the patient)

  • Contradictory or poorly described information in the medical record

  • Lack of diagnostic specificity for congenital cardiac disease in ICD-9

  • Inadequately trained medical coders

Although one might anticipate some improvement in diagnostic specificity with the adoption of ICD-10, it is still substantially deficient compared to that currently achieved with the clinical nomenclature used in clinical registries. (ICD-9 has only 29 congenital cardiac codes and ICD-10 has 73 possible congenital cardiac terms.) Only the implementation of the pediatric and congenital cardiac components of ICD-11 produces harmonization of the nomenclature used in clinical and administrative databases.

The meaning of the words right and left

When discussing cardiac chambers, such as atriums and ventricles, and spatial relationships, the words left and right can be confusing. Rules were therefore created to provide consistency and accuracy of descriptive terms of anatomical phenotypes. For cardiac chambers, unless otherwise stated, left refers to morphologically left, and right refers to morphologically right. Thus, left ventricle means the morphologically left ventricle, left atrium refers to the morphologically left atrium, and right atrial appendage refers to the morphologically right atrial appendage, and so on. When discussing cardiac chambers, the words left and right do not imply sidedness or position. If one wishes to describe the position or sidedness of a cardiac chamber, it is necessary to use terms such as left sided ventricle . The term left ventricle , therefore, merely means the morphologically left ventricle and does not mean or imply left-sidedness or right-sidedness. Similarly, it does not imply connections to the right or left atrium, or the pulmonary or systemic circulations. In contrast, when describing the superior caval vein or inferior caval vein, and using the prefix left or right , it is the spatial position that is being alluded to, rather than any other connection or phenotypic variation that may exist.

Structural differences between the systems of nomenclature

The fundamental structure of systems for nomenclature are of two general types :

  • Molecular structure, with an incrementally more complex diagnostic or procedural combination of terms. Each combination is considered a single diagnostic unit, which theoretically could have its own numerical code.

  • Atomic structure, in which a complex diagnosis would have separate numerical codes for each element .

This variation in structure of the various systems of nomenclature means that a map between an atomic system and a molecular system would have a series of atomic codes being equivalent to one molecular code. Thus, the combination term from the molecular nomenclature “ TGA, VSD, LVOTO ” (transposition of the great arteries with VSD and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction) is equivalent to the three entries in an atomic system: “ Transposition of the great arteries (Discordant VA connections) ”(01.05.01), “ Ventricular Septal Defect ” (07.10.00), and “ Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction ” (07.09.01). Exceptions to this configuration are a few common combinations of lesions or procedures that are so routinely associated with each other that they have been grouped as one discrete diagnosis or procedure in both systems. Examples are “ Pulmonary atresia + Ventricular Septal Defect (including Fallot type)” (01.01.06) or “ Arterial and atrial switch procedures (double switch) ” (12.29.25).

In general, the EACTS-STS-derived version of the IPCCC uses a molecular structure, whereas the AEPC-derived version of the IPCCC uses an atomic structure. Meanwhile, IPCCC ICD-11 uses a combination of atomic and molecular approaches.

The international pediatric and congenital cardiac code (IPCCC)

As described earlier, IPCCC has two primary versions:

  • EACTS-STS-derived version of the IPCCC

  • AEPC-derived version of the IPCCC

Both versions have a Short List and a Long List. The Long List of each version has been mapped to its corresponding Short List, and the two Long Lists have been crossmapped to each other. Both Long Lists also include hundreds of qualifiers and modifiers, some specific (such as anatomical sites) and some generic (such as gradings of severity).

The Short List and Long List of both versions of IPCCC are available for free download from the Internet at [ https://www.IPCCC.net ].

For all terms within the two versions of IPCCC , a unique six-digit code corresponds to a single entity, whether it be a morphologic phenotype, procedure, symptom, or genetic syndrome, with the mapped terms in each of the two versions being synonymous to each other (and sharing the same six digit code[s]). By 2013, there were 12,168 items in the AEPC-derived version of the IPCCC and 17,176 in the EACTS-STS-derived version of the IPCCC. The EACTS-STS-derived version of the IPCCC includes several thousand more terms than the AEPC-derived version of the IPCCC because of the differing structures of the systems. As discussed before, the molecular EACTS-STS-derived version of the IPCCC includes all of the atomic terms as well as thousands of derived molecular terms; meanwhile, the atomic AEPC-derived version of the IPCCC contains the atomic terms but very few molecular terms.

It is primarily the Short Lists, rather than the Long Lists, of the two crossmapped versions of the IPCCC that have been used for analyses of multi-institutional and international outcomes following operations and procedures for patients with congenitally malformed hearts, with over a million patients coded with the IPCCC in registries worldwide. Although both the Short Lists and the comprehensive Long Lists of each version of IPCCC have been crossmapped, the two Short Lists emanating from their respective Long List versions are not the same in terms of structure or content. ISNPCHD recognized this disparity and believed that the creation of a congenital cardiac subset within ICD-11 would accomplish several goals:

  • Help resolve the differences between the Short List of the EACTS-STS-derived version of the IPCCC and the Short List of the AEPC-derived version of the IPCCC

  • Present a single common comprehensive and hierarchical Short List of diagnostic terms that could serve all communities involved with pediatric and congenital cardiac care

  • Harmonize the administrative nomenclature for pediatric and congenital cardiac care with the clinical nomenclature for pediatric and congenital cardiac care

Eleventh revision of the international classification of diseases (ICD-11)

The history of The International Classification of Diseases ( ICD ) dates back to the late 1800s ( Figure 27.1 ):

  • In 1891, the International Statistical Institute commissioned a committee chaired by Jacques Bertillon (1851–1922), Chief of Statistical Services of the City of Paris, to create what became the Bertillon [International] Classification of Causes of Death, with associated sequential numeric codes. Over the following decades, this classification scheme was adopted by many countries in the Americas and Europe, with conferences for revision occurring roughly every 10 years to update the system, which became known as The International Classification of Diseases ( ICD ).

  • In 1893, Bertillon presented the (International) Classification of Causes of Death at the meeting of the International Statistical Institute in Chicago, where it was adopted by several cities and countries.

  • In 1898, the American Public Health Association recommended its adoption in North America and that the classification be revised every 10 years.

  • In 1900, the First International Conference to revise the Bertillon Classification of Causes of Death was held in Paris.

  • In 1909, non-fatal diseases (morbidity) were added.

  • From 1948 until now, the World Health Organization (WHO ) has promoted and managed ICD, starting in 1948 with the sixth revision of the International Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death.

According to WHO , “ICD is the foundation for the identification of health trends and statistics globally, and the international standard for reporting diseases and health conditions. It is the diagnostic classification standard for all clinical and research purposes. ICD defines the universe of diseases, disorders, injuries and other related health conditions, listed in a comprehensive, hierarchical fashion” [ https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/classification-of-diseases ]. The ICD-11 development mission was “to produce an international disease classification that is ready for electronic health records that will serve as a standard for scientific comparability and communication.”

ICD-11 was officially launched online by the WHO in June 2018 and endorsed by the World Health Assembly on 25 May 2019. The WHO states that ICD-11 is to be “the global standard for health data, clinical documentation, and statistical aggregation,” that it is “scientifically up-to-date and designed for use in the digital world with state-of-the art technology to reduce the costs of training and implementation,” and that its “multilingual design facilitates global use” [ https://www.who.int/classifications/classification-of-diseases ].

The purpose of ICD-11 “is to allow the systematic recording, analysis, interpretation, and comparison of mortality and morbidity data collected in different countries or areas and at different times.”

The ICD-11 project began in earnest in 2007. Importantly, ICD-11 incorporates textual definitions. With the creation of ICD-11, for the first time, the revision process moved away from reliance on large meetings of national delegations of health statisticians, wherein those who voiced their opinion strongest would dominate the content of the paper-based output—a concept popularly known as “ decibel” diplomacy ”! In contrast, the ICD-11 revision process is dependent upon international expert clinicians, with:

  • Digital curation

  • Incorporation of wide peer review

  • Εxtensive field testing

ICD-11 was adopted by the Seventy-second World Health Assembly in May 2019 and came into effect on January 1, 2022 [ https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/classification-of-diseases ].

The task of creating ICD-11 was divided into content specific Topic Advisory Groups (TAGs), with related Working Groups led by Managing Editors and chaired by specialist clinicians with an intentionally wide geographic spread. From 2009 through to 2016, the Managing Editor coordinated a series of meetings, some face-to-face but mostly teleconferences, beginning with the hierarchical structure and terms within ICD-10, and initially producing an evolving alpha draft. In 2012, a beta draft was published online [ https://icd.who.int/dev11/f/en ], coinciding with the authoring process moving to a Web-based platform for its entire content. The tool allows online global peer review and submission of comments by both the authors and worldwide interested parties in the field-testing stage. From the start, clinicians involved in the TAGs have been encouraged to enlist the advice of specialist societies to aid the process, and to ensure that the content was both up-to-date and had societal endorsement. This process has resulted in a huge increase in the number of individual terms within ICD-11, with secondary expanse of the hierarchical structure when compared with ICD-10.

In collaboration with WHO , ISNPCHD developed the pediatric and congenital cardiac nomenclature that is now within ICD-11. This unification of IPCCC and ICD-11 is the IPCCC ICD-11 Nomenclature and is the first time that the clinical nomenclature for pediatric and congenital cardiac care and the administrative nomenclature for pediatric and congenital cardiac care are harmonized. The resultant congenital cardiac component of ICD-11 was increased from 29 CHD diagnostic terms and codes in ICD-9 and 73 CHD diagnostic terms in ICD-10 to 318 codes submitted by ISNPCHD through 2018 for incorporation into ICD-11. After these 318 terms were incorporated into ICD-11 in 2018, the WHO ICD-11 team added an additional 49 terms, some of which are acceptable legacy terms from ICD-10 and some of which provide greater granularity than the ISNPCHD thought was originally acceptable, such as individual codes for the various types of aortic arch branch isolation or having an aberrant origin. Thus, the total number of pediatric and congenital cardiac terms in ICD-11 is 367 ( E-Tables 27.1 , 27.2 , and 27.3 , available in online version).

The intravalvar variant is distinguished from the supravalvar variant because the intravalvar ring is within the funnel of the mitral valvar leaflets. Both the intravalvar variant and the supravalvar variant are differentiated from divided left atrium because in the latter the posterosuperior compartment contains the pulmonary veins while the antero-inferior contains the left atrial appendage (and the atrioventricular valve [usually mitral valve] in the absence of left atrioventricular valvar atresia); in supravalvar or intravalvar mitral ring, the antero-inferior compartment contains only the mitral valve orifice and not the left atrial appendage.

This code could be used when there is a trifoliate left atrioventricular valve, commonly known as cleft mitral valve secondary to atrioventricular septal defect, and also has evidence of spontaneous obliteration of the atrioventricular septal defect by valvar or subvalvar tissue. Additional defects in the atrial or ventricular septums that do not involve the atrioventricular septum are not excluded by this term and should be coded separately. Common atrioventricular junction with spontaneous fibrous closure of atrioventricular septal defect; Common atrioventricular junction with intact atrioventricular septal structures
167 154 07.14.02 Communication between left ventricle and right atrium A deficiency of the atrioventricular component of the membranous septum permitting shunting of blood from the left ventricle to the right atrium.

This morphologic abnormality usually is an integral part of other congenital cardiovascular anomalies and, therefore, frequently does not need to be coded separately. It should, however, be coded as secondary to an accompanying congenital cardiovascular anomaly if the right ventricular hypoplasia is not considered an integral and understood part of the primary congenital cardiovascular diagnosis. It would rarely be coded as a primary and/or isolated diagnosis. Hypoplastic right ventricle

In its usual form there is dilatation of the pulmonary trunk and central right and left pulmonary arteries, which when extreme, is associated with abnormal arborization of lobar and segmental pulmonary artery branches and with compression of the trachea and mainstem bronchi, often with tracheobronchomalacia. The physiologic consequence is usually a combination of variable degrees of both stenosis and regurgitation of the pulmonary valve.

183 O + 07.06.03 Congenital left ventricular diverticulum A congenital cardiac malformation in which there is an outpouching from the ventricular wall that contains endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium and displays normal contraction.
184 169 07.09.28 Congenital left ventricular outflow tract obstruction A congenital cardiac condition in which the flow through the left ventricular outflow tract (proximal to the valve[s] guarding the outflow from the left ventricle) is blocked or impeded. This code should not be used for obstruction immediately under the arterial valve such as subaortic stenosis due to fibromuscular shelf or tunnel. LVOTO
185 170 07.09.08 Congenital left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to atrioventricular valve A congenital cardiac malformation in which the flow through the left ventricular outflow tract is blocked or impeded due to abnormal position or attachments of tricuspid, mitral, or common atrioventricular valvar tissue.
186 171 01.01.33 Left heart obstruction at multiple sites A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which more than one of the following lesions are present: (1) supravalvar or intravalvar mitral ring, (2) mitral subvalvar stenosis, (3) a parachute deformity of the mitral valve, (4) subaortic stenosis, (5) valvar aortic stenosis, and (6) aortic coarctation. Shone’s syndrome consists of multilevel hypoplasia or obstruction of the left-heart. The syndrome is based on the original report from Shone that was based on analysis of 8 autopsied cases and described the tendency of these four obstructive, or potentially obstructive, conditions to coexist. Only 2 of the 8 cases exhibited all four conditions, with the other cases exhibiting only two or three of the anomalies.

These occur in the setting of aortic atresia or severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, intact ventricular septum and a patent mitral valve. These left ventricular sinusoids do not communicate with the coronary arteries. Where connections from the left ventricle to the coronary arteries exist, one should code for “Congenital coronary artery-to-left ventricular fistula.” This code should not be used for left ventricular non-compaction.

190 174 07.14.07 Restrictive interventricular communication when an interventricular shunt is physiologically necessary A congenital cardiac finding in which there is an interventricular communication that is smaller than is required to permit physiologically adequate interventricular flow. This should be coded only when associated with other cardiac abnormalities that result in physiologic disturbances secondary to the absence of a larger interventricular communication. Clinically important examples include double outlet right ventricle or tetralogy of Fallot with restrictive ventricular septal defect, double inlet left ventricle or tricuspid atresia with concordant or discordant great arterial connections and restrictive ventricular septal defect, and others.
191 175 07.10.00 Ventricular septal defect A congenital cardiac malformation in which there is a hole or pathway between the ventricular chambers. The definitions offered for a “ventricular septal defect,” in its various forms, will be used most frequently in the setting of patients who do not have abnormalities of either the atrioventricular or ventriculo-arterial connections. The definitions themselves, however, are equally applicable for the description and categorization of holes or pathways between the ventricles when the segmental connections between the cardiac components are abnormal. The key to understanding the definitions is to appreciate that the hole or pathway between the ventricles is defined both on the basis of its geographic location within the ventricular septum and its margins as seen from the aspect of the morphologically right ventricle. In this respect, when the ventriculo-arterial connections are concordant or discordant, the roof of the channel, as viewed from the right ventricle, is the muscular outlet septum or its fibrous remnant. When both arterial trunks arise from the morphologically right ventricle, in contrast, the channel between the ventricles provides the outflow from the morphologically left ventricle, and is roofed by the inner heart curvature. In the setting of double outlet right ventricle, therefore, the interventricular communication is not the same geometric locus as the ventricular septal defect, although many still continue to describe the outlet from the left ventricle as the “ventricular septal defect.” In univentricular atrioventricular connections with functionally single left ventricle with an outflow chamber, the communication, which used to be called a bulboventricular foramen, is both a ventricular septal defect and an interventricular communication. The situation in the setting of double outlet right ventricle, however, shows that the terms cannot always be used as being synonymous. A similar situation pertains in the setting of common arterial trunk, since the hole usually closed by the surgeon to provide septal integrity is the right ventricular margin of the channel between the ventricles, rather than the geometric interventricular communication. Interventricular communication; Interventricular septal defect; Congenital ventricular septal defect VSD
192 176 07.10.01 Perimembranous central ventricular septal defect A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is a ventricular septal defect that (1) occupies the space that is usually closed by the interventricular part of the membranous septum, (2) is adjacent to the area of fibrous continuity between the leaflets of an atrioventricular valve and an arterial valve, (3) is adjacent to an area of mitral-tricuspid fibrous continuity, and (4) is located at the center of the base of the ventricular mass. Although best used to describe the perimembranous defect that opens centrally at the base of the right ventricle, this term might be used to code perimembranous defects with inlet or outlet extension. It is recommended, however, that the more precise terms be used whenever possible for coding the latter lesions. This code is used by some as synonymous with the perimembranous, conoventricular, Type II, or the paramembranous defects. It should not be used to code an inlet VSD, or the so-called atrioventricular canal VSD. More specific terms exist for coding these entities. It is used by some to describe an isolated perimembranous VSD without extension, although it is unlikely that perimembranous defects exist in the absence of deficiency of their muscular perimeter. The conoventricular VSD with malalignment should be coded as an outlet defect, as should the perimembranous defect opening to the outlet of the right ventricle. All perimembranous defects, nonetheless, have part of their margins made up of fibrous continuity either between the leaflets of an atrioventricular and an arterial valve or, in the setting of double outlet right ventricle or overriding of the tricuspid valve, by fibrous continuity between the leaflets of the mitral and tricuspid valves. Such defects can also extend to become doubly committed and juxta-arterial (conal septal hypoplasia) when there is also fibrous continuity between the leaflets of the arterial valves or when there is a common arterial valve. Specific codes exist for these variants, which ideally should not be coded using this term.

223 207 01.01.22 Functionally univentricular heart The term “functionally univentricular heart” describes a spectrum of congenital cardiac malformations in which the ventricular mass may not readily lend itself to partitioning that commits one ventricular pump to the systemic circulation, and another to the pulmonary circulation.

Common lesions in this category typically include double inlet right ventricle (DIRV), double inlet left ventricle (DILV), tricuspid atresia, mitral atresia, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Other lesions which sometimes may be considered to be a functionally univentricular heart include complex forms of atrioventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle, congenitally corrected transposition, pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, and other cardiovascular malformations. Specific diagnostic codes should be used whenever possible, and not the term “functionally univentricular heart.” Univentricular cardiopathy; Single ventricle; Univentricular heart

Subvalvar (infundibular) pulmonary stenosis is a narrowing of the outflow tract of the ventricle immediately below the pulmonic valve. This term should preferably be used in the setting of abnormal ventriculo-arterial connections, such as double outlet ventricle. Although subpulmonary obstruction is a type of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction if the ventriculo-arterial connections are normal, in this setting “Congenital right ventricular outflow tract obstruction” should be used. Subvalvar pulmonary stenosis is also a type of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in the setting of discordant ventriculo-arterial connections; this term should be used when obstruction is only apparent immediately below the pulmonary valve, otherwise the term “Congenital left ventricular outflow tract obstruction” should be used. Infundibular pulmonary stenosis

248 231 09.15.01 Congenital aortic valvar stenosis A congenital cardiovascular malformation of the aortic valve in which there is narrowing or stricture (obstruction to flow). “Congenital aortic valvar stenosis” arises most commonly as a result of partial or complete fusion of one or more commissures, or is due to dysplasia of one or more aortic cusps. These congenital malformations of the aortic valve may not be initially obstructive but may become stenotic later in life due to leaflet thickening, poor relative growth and-or calcification. It is not until the congenitally malformed aortic valve is or becomes stenotic that this term should be used.

Aortic valve prolapse
253 236 09.15.06 Aortic valvar atresia A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is no orifice of the aortic valve. Aortic valve atresia will most often be coded under the hypoplastic left heart syndrome/complex diagnostic codes since it most often occurs as part of a spectrum of cardiovascular malformations. However, there is a small subset of patients with aortic valve atresia who have a well developed left ventricle and mitral valve and a large ventricular septal defect (nonrestrictive or restrictive).

256 239 07.09.50 Congenital subaortic stenosis A congenital cardiovascular malformation associated with narrowing within the outflow tract supporting the aortic valve. This term should be used for congenital subaortic stenosis due to lesions such as deviation of the outlet septum (seen in coarctation of the aorta and interrupted aortic arch), or a restrictive ventricular septal defect (bulboventricular foramen) in single ventricle complexes. This term should not be used for subaortic stenosis due to a fibromuscular shelf or tunnel, as specific terms exist for these lesions. For subaortic stenosis due to an atrioventricular valve in the setting of normal ventriculo-arterial connections, the term “Congenital left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to an atrioventricular valve” should be used.

Congenital supravalvar aortic stenosis is described as three forms: an hourglass deformity, a fibrous membrane, and a diffuse narrowing of the ascending aorta. Supravalvar aortic stenosis may involve the coronary artery ostia, and the aortic leaflets may be tethered. The coronary arteries can become tortuous and dilated due to elevated pressures and early atherosclerosis may ensue.

The sinus of Valsalva is defined as that portion of the aortic root between the aortic root anulus and the sinotubular junction. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm most commonly originates from the right sinus, less commonly from the non-coronary sinus, and rarely from the left sinus (<5%). The aneurysm may rupture into an adjacent chamber or site (right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, pulmonary artery, pericardium) and in this case should be coded specifically (“Ruptured aortic sinus of Valsalva aneurysm”). This is to be distinguished from aortic root dilation associated with connective tissue disorders and aortopathies. Aortic sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

The stenosis or hypoplasia may be isolated or associated with other cardiovascular lesions. Coarctation of the pulmonary artery is related to abnormal extension of the arterial duct (ductus arteriosus) into a pulmonary arterial branch, more frequently the left branch. This is to be distinguished from narrowing or hypoplasia of the pulmonary trunk (main pulmonary artery). Central pulmonary arterial stenosis; Central pulmonary stenosis; Proximal pulmonary arterial stenosis; Proximal pulmonary stenosis

Hypoplasia of the aortic arch is hypoplasia of the proximal or distal transverse arch or the aortic isthmus. The isthmus (arch between the left subclavian and insertion of the patent ductus arteriosus/ ligamentum arteriosum) is hypoplastic if its diameter is less than 40% of the diameter of the ascending aorta. The proximal transverse arch (arch between the innominate and left carotid arteries) and distal transverse arch (arch between the left carotid and left subclavian arteries) are hypoplastic if their diameters are less than 60% and 50%, respectively, of the diameter of the ascending aorta.

304 Y + 09.28.08 Persistent fifth aortic arch A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is an accessory artery originating from the ascending aorta proximal to the ostium of the innominate (brachiocephalic) artery which connects to the descending aorta or near the confluence of the right and left pulmonary arteries. When the arterial connection is between the ascending and descending aorta, it is often associated with coarctation of the aorta. This malformation may be distinguished from a double aortic arch by the lack of arch vessels arising from it and by establishing that the accessory vessel and the aortic arch lie on the same side of the tracheoesophageal axis. Although this malformation has been termed a “persistent fifth aortic arch,” the use of this term is in dispute.
305 276 09.29.01 Coarctation of aorta A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is a discrete luminal narrowing of the junction between the aortic arch and the descending aorta. Coarctation of the aorta generally indicates a narrowing of the descending thoracic aorta just distal to the left subclavian artery.

326 291 09.30.23 Innominate artery compression syndrome A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is anterior compression of the trachea by the innominate artery. This syndrome is a true compression of the trachea by the abnormally positioned innominate artery. The innominate artery can appear to “compress” the trachea in the presence of tracheomalacia, but in the absence of an abnormal origin and course of the innominate artery, this apparent “compression” most likely is a consequence of the tracheomalacia itself rather than actual compression by the innominate artery.

There may or may not be native pulmonary arteries which, if present, may be hypoplastic, and either confluent or non-confluent. This term is intended to exclude patients with systemic to pulmonary artery collaterals and “Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia” since they are coded using the term “Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries.” Major systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries; Major systemic-to-pulmonary collateral artery; Systemic-to-pulmonary collateral vessels; Systemic-to-pulmonary collateral flow; Aortopulmonary collateral arteries APCAs, MAPCAs
341 300 09.46.03 Congenital anomaly of coronary artery A congenital cardiovascular malformation of a coronary artery. This includes absence of a coronary, anomalous origin or course, dilation or stenosis, and fistulas. Congenital anomalies of the coronary venous system should not be included here but rather under “Congenital anomaly of mediastinal systemic vein.” Congenital malformations of coronary vessels; Malformation of coronary vessels
342 301 09.41.01 Anomalous origin of coronary artery from pulmonary arterial tree A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which a coronary artery originates from the pulmonary trunk or one of its branches. Although the most common of these malformations involves the left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary trunk (main pulmonary artery) rather than from the aorta, occasionally the right coronary artery, the circumflex, or both coronary arteries may arise from any of the central pulmonary arteries.
343 302 09.41.03 Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the left coronary artery originates from the pulmonary trunk or one of its branches. Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary trunk (ALCAPT) ALCAPA; ALCAPT
344 303 09.42.00 Anomalous aortic origin or course of coronary artery A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the origin and/or course of a coronary artery is abnormal. This is where coronary “anomalies” in the presence of discordant ventriculo-arterial connections should be coded.
345 304 09.42.21 Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery with ventriculo-arterial concordance A congenital cardiovascular malformation in the setting of ventriculo-arterial concordance in which a coronary artery arises from the aorta at a location other than its expected sinus. Anomalous aortic origins of the coronary arteries include a spectrum of anatomic variations of the normal coronary artery origins. Coronary artery anomalies of aortic origin to be coded under this diagnostic field include anomalies of take-off (high take-off), origin (sinus), branching, and number. An anomalous course of the coronary artery vessels is also significant, particularly those coronary arteries that arise or course between the great vessels. This term is used for patients with concordant ventriculo-arterial connections. AAOCA; Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery AAOCA
346 305 09.46.26 Right coronary artery from left aortic sinus with ventriculo-arterial concordance A congenital cardiovascular malformation in the setting of ventriculo-arterial concordance in which the right coronary artery arises from, or immediately above, the left sinus of Valsalva. This term applies to patients with concordant ventriculo-arterial connections.
347 306 09.46.21 Left coronary artery from right aortic sinus with ventriculo-arterial concordance A congenital cardiovascular malformation in the setting of ventriculo-arterial concordance in which the left coronary artery arises from, or imm ediately above, the right sinus of Valsalva. This term applies to patients with concordant ventriculo-arterial connections.
348 307 09.43.04 Anterior descending from right coronary artery across right ventricular outflow tract A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the left circumflex coronary artery arises normally and the anterior descending coronary artery arises from the proximal right coronary artery and courses across the right ventricular outflow tract. Anterior interventricular artery from right coronary artery across right ventricular outflow tract; Left anterior descending (LAD) from right coronary artery across right ventricular outflow tract
349 308 09.43.05 Intramural proximal coronary arterial course A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the proximal coronary artery courses within and parallel to the wall of the aorta before it emerges to assume its epicardial course. Intramural coronary artery
350 309 09.43.13 Single coronary artery supplying all of heart A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which a solitary coronary artery supplies the myocardium.
351 310 09.43.12 Myocardial bridging of coronary artery A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which a usually epicardial coronary arterial segment is located within the ventricular myocardium, making this segment susceptible to compression during systole. Myocardial bridge MB
352 311 09.44.05 Congenital coronary arterial orifice stenosis A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the orifice of a coronary artery is narrowed. Congenital coronary ostial stenosis
353 312 09.44.19 Congenital coronary arterial orifice atresia A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the orifice of a coronary artery is not patent. This excludes single coronary artery anomalies Congenital coronary ostial atresia COSA
354 313 09.45.16 Congenital coronary arterial fistula A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which a coronary artery communicates, through an anomalous channel, with a cardiac chamber or with any segment of the pulmonary circulation. This communication may be simple and direct or may be tortuous and dilated. In order of frequency the involved coronary artery is the right, the left and, rarely, both coronary arteries. Occasionally multiple fistulas are present. Coronary fistula
