All codes under I72
I72 can't be used on a claim. Pick a billable code below; grey headings group them.
- I72.0Aneurysm of carotid artery
- I72.1Aneurysm of artery of upper extremity
- I72.2Aneurysm of renal artery
- I72.3Aneurysm of iliac artery
- I72.4Aneurysm of artery of lower extremity
- I72.5Aneurysm of other precerebral arteries
- I72.6Aneurysm of vertebral artery
- I72.8Aneurysm of other specified arteries
- I72.9Aneurysm of unspecified site
I72 MS-DRGs
As the principal diagnosis, the billable codes under I72 group to MS-DRG 299, 300, 301, 698, 699, or 700 (v44.0). Which one applies depends on procedures performed, secondary diagnoses (CC/MCC), and the patient's age and discharge status.
- DRG 299 Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCC (8 of 9 codes)
- DRG 300 Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CC (8 of 9 codes)
- DRG 301 Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCC (8 of 9 codes)
- DRG 698 Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with MCC (1 of 9 codes)
- DRG 699 Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with CC (1 of 9 codes)
- DRG 700 Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses without CC/MCC (1 of 9 codes)

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.
