There isnt an ICD-9 code for S/P Mitral valve repair; however you can use
V43.3 if the mitral valve was replaced with a prosthetic valve.

V43.3

Hi Maddy,

If the physician replaced the mitral valve by prosthetic valve then the correct ICD code is V43.3.

Thanks,

Could you use under "History, surgery to Heart", V15.1 ? or if you might have had a complication following surgery "Complications, surgical procedures, Cardiac", 997.1 ?

V58.49 is used for valve repiar. V43.3 is used for replacement. Please cut and paste the link below, scroll down and click accept and scroll to the v codes. I hope this helps!
