Anomalous origin of subclavian artery
ICD-10 Q25.48 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of anomalous origin of subclavian artery.
Anomalous origin of the subclavian artery is a congenital malformation characterized by the abnormal positioning or branching of the subclavian artery, which can lead to significant hemodynamic changes and potential complications. This condition may occur in isolation or as part of a more complex congenital heart defect. It is often associated with other vascular anomalies, such as coarctation of the aorta or congenital heart defects like tetralogy of Fallot. Clinical manifestations can vary widely, ranging from asymptomatic presentations to severe symptoms, including respiratory distress or failure to thrive in infants. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as echocardiography, MRI, or CT angiography to visualize the vascular anatomy. Management may require surgical intervention, particularly if the anomalous origin leads to compromised blood flow or associated symptoms. Understanding the implications of this condition is crucial for pediatricians and cardiologists, as timely diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes.
Detailed clinical notes including growth parameters, symptoms, and imaging results are essential for accurate coding.
Pediatric patients presenting with failure to thrive or respiratory distress due to vascular anomalies.
Consideration of age-related factors in symptom presentation and management strategies.
Genetic testing results and family history documentation are critical for understanding potential hereditary patterns.
Cases involving syndromic presentations where genetic counseling is warranted.
Awareness of chromosomal abnormalities that may co-occur with vascular anomalies.
Used in conjunction with coding for anomalous origin of subclavian artery when surgical intervention is required.
Surgical reports detailing the procedure and any associated anomalies.
Pediatric cardiology may require additional documentation for congenital heart defects.
Common associated conditions include coarctation of the aorta, tetralogy of Fallot, and other congenital heart defects. Accurate coding requires documentation of these associations.
