Clinical Definition

Aortic aneurysm is a permanent localized dilation of the aorta, having at least a 50% increase in diameter compared to the expected normal diameter.

Documentation Requirements

• Specific location in aorta must be documented:

  • Thoracic

  • Abdominal

  • Thoracoabdominal

• Size of aneurysm in centimeters

• Whether ruptured or unruptured

• Any dissection present (if applicable)

• Presence of specified genetic conditions (e.g., Marfan's syndrome)

• If syphilitic, must document confirmed etiology

• Whether symptomatic or asymptomatic

Common Synonyms

• "Enlarged aorta"

• "Ballooning of the aorta"

• "Dilated aorta"

• "Triple A" (for abdominal aortic aneurysm/AAA)

Coding Conflicts

Excludes1:

• Aortic ectasia

• Traumatic rupture of aorta

• Syphilitic aortic aneurysm (separate code)

Excludes2:

• Arteriovenous fistula, acquired (I77.0)

• Dissection of aorta (I71.0-)

Scribing.io Automation

The AI scribe automatically:

• Identifies measurements from imaging reports

• Tags anatomical locations mentioned

• Flags terms indicating rupture status

• Links relevant genetic conditions

• Captures symptom documentation

• Cross-references previous measurements for progression

The system distinguishes between confirmed diagnoses and suspected conditions, ensuring accurate coding assignment.
