S25.4Injury of pulmonary blood vessels

S25.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of pulmonary blood vessels. It belongs to category S25 (injury of blood vessels of thorax), block S20-S29 (injuries to the thorax) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S25 (injury of blood vessels of thorax), S25.4 is specifically for injury of pulmonary blood vessels. Related codes cover thoracic aorta (S25.0), innominate or subclavian artery (S25.1), superior vena cava (S25.2), innominate or subclavian vein (S25.3), intercostal blood vessels (S25.5), other blood vessels of thorax (S25.8) and unspecified blood vessel of thorax (S25.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

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