Rheumatic tricuspid valve diseases (I07)

The ICD-10 codes I07.0 through I07.9 classify various rheumatic tricuspid valve diseases, which are heart valve problems caused by rheumatic fever affecting the tricuspid valve. These codes help specify the exact type of valve damage, such as narrowing or leakage.

These codes are used for conditions including rheumatic tricuspid stenosis (I07.0), which refers to the narrowing of the tricuspid valve often called tricuspid valve stenosis or rheumatic disease of the tricuspid valve. Rheumatic tricuspid insufficiency (I07.1) covers cases where the valve is leaking, also known as tricuspid valve regurgitation. When both narrowing and leaking occur together, code I07.2 is appropriate. Other less common rheumatic tricuspid valve problems fall under I07.8, and unspecified tricuspid valve diseases, including prosthetic valve issues or related inflammation, are coded as I07.9. These codes are crucial when documenting chronic rheumatic heart disease affecting the tricuspid valve and improving clarity for billing and medical records.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • rheumatic tricuspid valve diseases specified as rheumatic or unspecified

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

  • tricuspid valve disease specified as nonrheumatic I36
  • tricuspid valve disease with aortic and/or mitral valve involvement I08

Clinical Terms

The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.

Tricuspid Valve Stenosis

The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the TRICUSPID VALVE. This hinders the emptying of RIGHT ATRIUM leading to elevated right atrial pressure and systemic venous congestion. Tricuspid valve stenosis is almost always due to RHEUMATIC FEVER.
