ICD-10 Code I71.32 – Juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, ruptured (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I71.32 – Juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, ruptured
What it is
I71.32 identifies a ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta located at the juxtarenal segment, meaning it is near the renal arteries. Use it when the aneurysm has broken open and bleeding is documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Rupture is typically described with sudden abdominal, flank, or back pain, hemodynamic instability, or imaging evidence of a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with leak or rupture.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states a ruptured juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. It is appropriate for emergency, inpatient, or operative documentation that confirms rupture near the renal arteries. Check documentation if the location is only described as abdominal aortic aneurysm without juxtarenal detail.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for an unruptured aneurysm, a thoracic aneurysm, or an aneurysm in another abdominal segment. If rupture is not documented, code the nonruptured condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm both key elements in the note: juxtarenal location and rupture status.
