Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous malformation

What This Code Means

A birth defect where there is an abnormal direct connection between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, allowing blood to bypass the lungs' normal filtering function.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify whether the malformation is unilateral or bilateral if documented
  • •Note the size and hemodynamic significance; may require intervention if causing significant shunting
