About I97.61
I97.61 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure. It belongs to category I97 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of circulatory system, not elsewhere classified), block I95-I99 (other and unspecified disorders of the circulatory system) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.
Within I97.6 (postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a procedure), I97.61 is specifically for postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure. Related codes cover hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following other procedure (I97.62), hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure (I97.63) and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure (I97.64).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I97.610 (catheterization), I97.611 (bypass) and I97.618 (procedure).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (title revised).
