Specific Coding for Other aneurysmOverview

Non-specific codes like I72 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use I72.0 for Aneurysm of carotid artery

  • Use I72.1 for Aneurysm of artery of upper extremity

  • Use I72.2 for Aneurysm of renal artery

  • Use I72.3 for Aneurysm of iliac artery

  • Use I72.4 for Aneurysm of artery of lower extremity

  • Use I72.5 for Aneurysm of other precerebral arteries

  • Use I72.6 for Aneurysm of vertebral artery

  • Use I72.8 for Aneurysm of other specified arteries

  • Use I72.9 for Aneurysm of unspecified site

Patient EducationClinical

Aneurysms

An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death.
