ICD-10-CM Code S35.00XA
Unspecified injury of abdominal aorta, initial encounter
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.S35.00XA is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified injury of abdominal aorta, initial encounter. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code S350 is used to code Traumatic aortic rupture
Traumatic aortic rupture, also called traumatic aortic disruption or transection, is a condition in which the aorta, the largest artery in the body, is torn or ruptured. The condition is frequently fatal due to the profuse bleeding that results from the rupture. Since the aorta branches directly from the heart to supply blood to the rest of the body, the pressure within it is very great, and blood may be pumped out of a tear in the blood vessel very rapidly. This can quickly result in shock and death. Thus traumatic aortic rupture is a common killer in automotive accidents and other traumas, with up to 18% of deaths that occur in automobile collisions being related to the injury. In fact, aortic disruption due to blunt chest trauma is the second leading cause of injury death behind traumatic brain injury.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S35.00XA and a single ICD9 code, 902.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
