ICD-9 Term

PROCEDURE: Transesophageal echocardiogram
INDICATIONS: Evaluation of the aortic valve considering the stenosis that was not well-documented angiographically
PROCEDURE: The patient received 2 mg of Versed, and a transesophageal probe was advanced to the lower part of the esophagus. We had good visualization of the heart. The mitral valve was thickened with slight prolapse, but there was no significant regurgitation noted. The LV displayed normal size and normal function. The aortic root is normal in size. The aortic valve is calcified with diffuse cusp excursions with still adequate opening. Valve area was variable in different incidents varying from 1 to even above 2.
CONCLUSION: This transesophageal echo shows aortic valve disease but does not appear to be severe. It appeared to be moderately stenotic, and considering the angiography and the hemodynamics, this patient does not need valve surgery yet.

What are the three terms that can be looked up in the alphabetical index of the ICD-9-CM manual to identify the correct procedure?

re: ICD-9 Term

Am I correct to say the terms used would be echocardiography, transesophageal. Just two terms for this answer right.

re: ICD-9 Term

there are 3 terms for this question
