Congenital malformations of great arteries
Chapter 17:Congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities
ICD-10 Q25 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital malformations of great arteries.
Congenital malformations of great arteries, classified under ICD-10 code Q25, encompass a variety of structural defects that affect the major arteries of the heart, including the aorta and pulmonary arteries. These malformations can lead to significant hemodynamic changes and may result in serious complications if not diagnosed and managed appropriately. Common conditions within this category include coarctation of the aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, and transposition of the great arteries, among others. Early detection through imaging studies and echocardiography is crucial for effective management and intervention, which may include surgical repair or catheter-based procedures.

Conditions included in Q25 are congenital malformations such as coarctation of the aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, and transposition of the great arteries, among others.
Q25 codes should be used when documenting congenital malformations of great arteries diagnosed in patients, particularly when these conditions are confirmed through imaging or clinical evaluation.
Documentation for Q25 should include the specific type of congenital malformation, any associated conditions, clinical findings, and results from diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms or angiograms.
