ICD-10 Code I97.410 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure complicating a cardiac catheterization (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I97.410 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure complicating a cardiac catheterization
What it is
This code identifies bleeding or hematoma that occurs during a cardiac catheterization and involves a circulatory system organ or structure. Use it when the complication is documented as intraoperative and tied to the catheterization procedure.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include procedural bleeding, visible hematoma, or a note of vascular injury recognized during the catheterization.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents intraoperative hemorrhage or hematoma as a complication of a cardiac catheterization. It applies to bleeding identified during the procedure, not to unrelated post-procedure bleeding unless the record clearly links it to the catheterization.
Code it only when the complication involves a circulatory system organ or structure and the documentation supports the intraoperative timing. Check documentation if the record is vague about the site, timing, or relationship to the procedure.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for routine, expected blood loss without a documented complication. Do not use it when the bleeding is unrelated to cardiac catheterization or when the record does not specify an intraoperative complication.
Coding tip
Confirm the procedure note names both the cardiac catheterization and the intraoperative hemorrhage or hematoma before assigning I97.410.
