About coding arteriovenous fistula
The ICD-10-CM code for arteriovenous fistula is I77.0 (Arteriovenous fistula, acquired). The official index lists 15 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on I77.0.
Within I77 (other disorders of arteries and arterioles), I77.0 is specifically for arteriovenous fistula, acquired. Related codes cover stricture of artery (I77.1), rupture of artery (I77.2), arterial fibromuscular dysplasia (I77.3), celiac artery compression syndrome (I77.4), necrosis of artery (I77.5), arteritis, unspecified (I77.6), other arterial dissection (I77.7), other specified disorders of arteries and arterioles (I77.8) and 1 more.
Don't report I77.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: arteriovenous aneurysm NOS (Q27.3-), presence of arteriovenous shunt (fistula) for dialysis (Z99.2) and traumatic - see injury of blood vessel by body region.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of I77.0, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: cerebral (I67.1) and coronary (I25.4).
