Iliac Aneurysm. Abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of any one of the iliac arteries including the common, the internal, or the external ILIAC ARTERY.
Why ICD-10 codes are important
I74.3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I74.3 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I74.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 I74.3 may differ.
An iliac aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the iliac artery, a group of arteries located in the pelvis. Iliac aneurysms can burst, which can cause life-threatening, uncontrolled bleeding. Causes of iliac aneurysms include: Atherosclerosis. Infections.
I72. 3 - Aneurysm of iliac artery | ICD-10-CM.
Definition. Iliac artery aneurysm (IAA) is defined as a dilatation of the iliac artery of 1.5-fold the normal diameter. Thus, a common iliac artery (CIA)>18 mm in men and >15 mm in women, and an internal iliac artery (IIA) >8 mm is considered aneurysmal [1,2].
The diameter of the common iliac artery is approximately 1 cm on average. Considering the threshold for AAA, approximately 3 cm has conventionally been the threshold for surgical intervention.
pelvisThe pelvis is the lower part of your torso, just above where your legs connect at the hips. The iliac arteries branch off of the bottom of the aorta, the large artery coming out of the top of the heart. The iliac arteries are peripheral arteries.
Isolated iliac artery aneurysm are uncommon, accounting for <2% of abdominal aneurysms.
What Causes an Aortoiliac Aneurysm or Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm? Over time, the weakening of the aorta or common iliac artery due to vascular disease, injury (trauma), or a genetic (hereditary) defect of the tissue within the arterial wall can cause an aneurysm.
The common iliac arteries arise from the aortic bifurcation and bifurcate into the external and internal iliac arteries anterior to the sacroiliac joint.
Repair of aneurysms exceeding 3.0 cm to 3.5 cm in diameter is recommended to prevent the risk of rupture. Rupture of common iliac artery aneurysms is associated with a risk of mortality approaching 70% (1–3).
Background: Iliac artery aneurysms have traditionally been treated by direct surgical reconstruction. Endovascular stent grafts have been developed to provide an effective but less invasive treatment option for patients with peripheral arterial aneurysms.
An aneurysm or aneurism (from Greek: ἀνεύρυσμα, aneurysma, "dilation", from ἀνευρύνειν, aneurynein, "to dilate") is a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 442.2 was previously used, I72.3 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Aneurysms are classified by location, etiology, or other characteristics. Pathological, blood-filled distension of blood vessel. Protruding sac in the wall of a vein, artery, or heart, frequently caused by microbial infection; may present as pain, pressure on nearby organs, or cardiac weakening.
Medicines and surgery are the two main treatments for aneurysms. Bulging or ballooning in an area of an artery secondary to arterial wall weakening. Pathological outpouching or sac-like dilatation in the wall of any blood vessel (arteries or veins) or the heart (heart aneurysm).
Most aneurysms occur in the aorta, the main artery traveling from the heart through the chest and abdomen. Aneurysms also can happen in arteries in the brain, heart and other parts of the body. If an aneurysm in the brain bursts, it causes a stroke. Aneurysms can develop and become large before causing any symptoms.
