Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery with ventriculo-arterial concordance – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/238058271

A congenital cardiovascular malformation in the setting of ventriculo-arterial concordance in which a coronary artery arises from the aorta at a location other than its expected sinus. Additional information: anomalous aortic origins of the coronary arteries include a spectrum of anatomic variations of the normal coronary artery origins. Coronary artery anomalies of aortic origin to be coded under this diagnostic field include: anomalies of take-off (high take-off), origin (sinus), branching, and number. An anomalous course of the coronary artery vessels is also significant, particularly those coronary arteries that arise or course between the great vessels. This term is used for patients with concordant ventriculo-arterial connections.
