Congenital malformations of pulmonary and tricuspid valves
Chapter 17:Congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities
ICD-10 Q22 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital malformations of pulmonary and tricuspid valves.
Q22 encompasses congenital malformations of the pulmonary and tricuspid valves, which are critical components of the heart's anatomy. These malformations can lead to significant hemodynamic changes and may result in various clinical manifestations, including cyanosis, heart failure, and arrhythmias. The conditions covered under this category include pulmonary valve stenosis, tricuspid valve atresia, and other structural anomalies affecting these valves. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to manage symptoms and improve outcomes for affected patients, as these congenital defects can severely impact the cardiovascular system's functionality.

Q22 includes congenital malformations such as pulmonary valve stenosis, tricuspid valve atresia, and other structural anomalies affecting the pulmonary and tricuspid valves.
Q22 codes should be used when documenting congenital malformations of the pulmonary and tricuspid valves, particularly when these conditions are diagnosed or treated in a clinical setting.
Documentation should include a clear diagnosis of the congenital malformation, any relevant imaging studies, treatment plans, and any associated conditions that may impact management.
