ICD-10 Code for Aneurysm
Also indexed as (anastomotic) (artery) (cirsoid) (diffuse) (false) (fusiform) (multiple) (saccular)
The ICD-10-CM code for aneurysm is I72.9 — Aneurysm of unspecified site. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for aneurysm with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
I72.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which aneurysm code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 69 codes under Aneurysm. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
