    ICD-10-CM Code For Other Aneurysm: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group I72 includes aneurysms of arteries other than the aorta and intracranial vessels, covering peripheral arterial dilations and their complications such as rupture or thrombosis. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters where specific arterial aneurysms are identified, capturing information about location, rupture status, and associated complications to reflect clinical complexity. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM I72 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM I72: Other Aneurysm Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM I72 group for Other Aneurysm describes localized dilations of arteries outside the aorta and cerebral vessels, affecting peripheral arterial segments. These diagnoses target the arterial system and related complications such as rupture or thrombosis. Accurate coding matters for complete clinical documentation and appropriate reimbursement because specificity about location and rupture status affects severity classification and claim processing.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a clinician documents an aneurysm located in a non-aortic, non-intracranial artery and specifies location or complication status. Codes in this group are applied for encounters involving diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of these peripheral or visceral arterial aneurysms.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An elderly patient with sudden severe abdominal pain and syncope presents to the emergency department. Imaging with contrast CT angiography shows a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm involving the infrarenal segment of the aorta; the acute presentation with hemorrhagic shock prompts an aneurysm diagnosis from this group. Typical codes: I72.3.
    • A middle-aged patient with longstanding hypertension and peripheral arterial disease is seen in vascular clinic for progressive pulsatile swelling behind the knee and intermittent claudication. Duplex ultrasound confirms a popliteal artery aneurysm without rupture but with mural thrombus and concern for distal embolization; this chronic arterial aneurysm is documented as the reason for ongoing surveillance and possible repair. Typical codes: I72.5.
    • A patient hospitalized for ischemic stroke is found on workup to have an atraumatic visceral arterial aneurysm discovered incidentally on abdominal imaging during evaluation; the aneurysm is recorded as a comorbidity that may affect management decisions and future vascular follow-up. Typical codes: I72.4, I72.8.
