ICD-10 Code I97.418 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure complicating other circulatory system procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I97.418 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure complicating other circulatory system procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding or hematoma that occurs during a circulatory system procedure and involves a circulatory system organ or structure. Use it when the complication is documented as intraoperative and related to the procedure.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include unexpected operative bleeding, formation of a hematoma, or the need for additional hemostatic measures during the procedure.
When to use this code
Use this code when the surgeon documents intraoperative hemorrhage or hematoma affecting a circulatory system organ or structure during another circulatory system procedure. The record should show that the complication occurred during the operation, not afterward. If the note is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for postoperative bleeding, routine expected blood loss, or hemorrhage unrelated to a circulatory system procedure. Do not assign it if the provider documents a different complication or the site is outside the circulatory system.
Coding tip
Code the intraoperative complication only when the provider explicitly links it to the circulatory procedure.
