2025 ICD-10-CM code T81.710

Complication of mesenteric artery following a procedure, not elsewhere classified.

Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20 (External causes of morbidity) to indicate the cause of injury, unless the T-code already includes the external cause. Use additional code Z18.- to identify any retained foreign body. Use additional code to identify adverse effect of drug (if applicable). Use additional code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication. Use additional code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances (Y62-Y82).

Medical necessity is established by the presence of a complication directly related to a prior procedure. The documentation should clearly link the complication to the procedure and explain the need for any subsequent treatment or intervention.

In simple words: This code indicates a problem with the artery that supplies blood to your intestines after a medical procedure.

This code describes a complication specifically involving the mesenteric artery following a procedure. It's used when the complication is not classified elsewhere in the ICD-10-CM.

Example 1: A patient undergoes a surgical procedure involving the abdomen, and post-operatively, develops thrombosis in the mesenteric artery, leading to bowel ischemia., During an endovascular procedure, a guidewire accidentally perforates the mesenteric artery, causing a hematoma and requiring surgical repair., Following a colonoscopy with polypectomy, a patient experiences bleeding from a branch of the mesenteric artery.

Documentation should include the specific complication involving the mesenteric artery, the procedure that preceded the complication, and the clinical manifestations of the complication. Details of any diagnostic imaging, surgical intervention, or other treatment related to the complication should also be documented.
