Hello


Looking for a dx code for calcified thoracic aorta??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
 
I think 440.0 would be most appropriate. I found it looking under calcification in the index and then to aorta since there isn't a listing specifically for the thoracic aorta. I think this code is meant to cover any narrowing within the aorta from the abdominal to thoracic to the ascending....all of the above.
