Wiki DX Ectasis of Thoracic aorta

[jfkscindy]

In ANYONE's opinion,,,what would you chose as the DX for Ectasis of Thoracic Aorta? (no aneurysm)
447.8 or 441.9? It's a big discussion here at work and no two people can agree on the same DX! Almost forgot the procedure, it is for an Xray,

Thanks!!

I would use 441.9 because Dilation of aorta is listed under it.

I totally agree with 441.9
