An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death.
A pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is an excessive dilatation involving all three layers of the vessel wall in the main pulmonary artery and/or any of its main branches. It is a rare but severe pathological condition with an unknown prevalence based on a large population in previous statistics.

Location. The pulmonary trunk, which is relatively short and wide, is located at the exit of the right ventricle. This main arterial branch is located above the heart to the left of the ascending aorta. These vessels pierce through the pericardium, which is the connective tissue lining around the heart.

However, changes in the cells that line the pulmonary arteries can cause the walls of the arteries to become stiff, swollen and thick. These changes may slow down or block blood flow through the lungs, causing pulmonary hypertension.
There are two ICD-10-CM codes to report for this type of pulmonary hypertension. I27. 0 (primary pulmonary hypertension) and I27. 21 (secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension).

Having pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) means that you have high blood pressure in the arteries that go from your heart to your lungs . It's different from having regular high blood pressure. With PAH, the tiny arteries in your lungs become narrow or blocked.
Most aneurysms occur in the aorta, the main artery that runs 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.

General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
