ICD-10 Code I97.630 – Postprocedural hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a cardiac catheterization (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I97.630 – Postprocedural hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a cardiac catheterization
What it is
I97.630 identifies a hematoma that develops after a cardiac catheterization procedure involving a circulatory system organ or structure. Use it when the bleeding complication is documented as postprocedural and tied to the catheterization.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings include localized swelling, pain, bruising, or a palpable mass at or near the access site, with the hematoma noted after the procedure.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states a hematoma occurred as a complication of cardiac catheterization. It applies to postoperative or postprocedural bleeding collections linked to the procedure, not to unrelated spontaneous bleeding.
If the provider documents only bleeding, access-site injury, or another complication without naming a hematoma, check documentation. Code the documented condition that best matches the final assessment.
Do not use for
Do not use I97.630 for a hematoma unrelated to cardiac catheterization or for a preexisting hematoma. Do not assign it when the complication is not documented as postprocedural.
Coding tip
Confirm both the procedure type and the complication wording in the operative or progress note before assigning this code.
