ICD-Code Z92.80: Personal history of interventional correction and palliation of a congenital heart defect
You have indicated that you have previously had heart treatment.
You had a congenital heart abnormality. That is why you were treated for a heart condition using a catheter. A catheter is a thin tube. This tube is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin or arm, for example, and pushed further in. Various instruments can be pushed onto the tip of the tube.
Before the start of a medical measure, it is common to be asked about previous treatments. The reason for this is that previous treatments may sometimes adversely affect a current treatment. Furthermore, side effects of past treatments can have adverse effects on health.
Additional indicator
On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.
- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
- A: Excluded diagnosis
- L: Left
- R: Right
- B: Both sides
