The CPT code for aortic aneurysm repair is typically 33860 for open repair or 33861 for endovascular repair, depending on the specific procedure. For aortic valve replacement, the code is 33405 for aortic valve replacement with a prosthetic valve. If the procedure also involves replacement of the aortic root, additional codes may apply based on the complexity and specific surgical approach. Always refer to the latest CPT guidelines for the most accurate coding.
Aortic root dilatation can occur due to a variety of factors, including genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which affect connective tissue. It can also result from chronic hypertension, aortic valve disease, or inflammatory conditions like aortitis. Additionally, age-related changes and certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking and high cholesterol, may contribute to the weakening and expansion of the aortic root. Regular monitoring and management of underlying conditions are essential to mitigate the risk of further complications.

A loud diastolic murmur at the second intercostal space to the left of the sternum is typically caused by aortic regurgitation. This occurs when the aortic valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak back into the left ventricle during diastole. It is often associated with conditions such as aortic valve prolapse, aortic root dilation, or infective endocarditis.
