I77.811Abdominal aortic ectasia

I77.811 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abdominal aortic ectasia. It belongs to category I77 (other disorders of arteries and arterioles), block I70-I79 (diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within I77.81 (aortic ectasia), I77.811 is specifically for abdominal aortic ectasia. Related codes cover thoracic aortic ectasia (I77.810), thoracoabdominal aortic ectasia (I77.812) and unspecified site (I77.819).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 299 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5842), DRG 300 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0464) and DRG 301 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7133), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 447.72 (abdominal aortic ectasia).
