2025 ICD-10-CM code I97
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Diseases of the circulatory system - Other and unspecified disorders of the circulatory system Chapter 9: Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) Feed
Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of circulatory system, not elsewhere classified.
The medical necessity of using I97 is established by the presence of a circulatory system complication directly related to a surgical or invasive procedure. This complication must significantly impact the patient's condition and require additional medical intervention.
Physicians use this code to document and report complications related to the circulatory system arising during or after a procedure.Accurate documentation of the specific complication is crucial for appropriate treatment and billing. The physician is responsible for ensuring the documentation supports the use of this code.

- I95-I99: Other and unspecified disorders of the circulatory system
In simple words: This code describes complications related to the heart and blood vessels that may happen during or after a medical procedure, like surgery.
This code encompasses a range of complications and disorders affecting the circulatory system that occur during or after a surgical or other invasive procedure. These complications are not classified elsewhere in the ICD-10-CM.
Example 1: A patient develops a cardiac arrhythmia during a coronary artery bypass graft surgery., A patient experiences post-operative bleeding following a peripheral vascular intervention., A patient develops a deep vein thrombosis after a total hip replacement.
Documentation should clearly specify the nature of the intraoperative or postprocedural circulatory complication, the procedure during which the complication arose, and any associated manifestations. Supporting clinical findings, diagnostic test results, and treatment provided should also be documented.
** Code I97 requires further specification with a fourth digit to identify the specific type of complication.For accurate coding, consult the complete ICD-10-CM codebook to select the most appropriate sub-code.
