For patients who had an AAA open abdominal surgery repair, assign code: – Z95.828, presence of other vascular implants and grafts. In an open abdominal surgery, the damaged section of the aorta is removed and replaced with a synthetic tube (graft). In this case, the aneurysm no longer exists and would not be coded per ICD-10 guidelines.

How would an AAA be coded s/p EVAR? Is the coding the same with an open abdominal repair?
Coding for an AAA s/p repair, will depend on the type of surgical procedure:
There are too many surgeries for the ICD9 to have a status post code for each of them, so V45.89 can be used for status postoperative NEC. It's what I use (when there isn't a specific status post code for the surgery we performed) if the patient isn't having issues and our Doc's are just rounding status post surgery. Don't let the description under V45.89, in the tabular list, scare you away from using it. ICD9 could not list all the surgeries there either, but if you Google V45.89 you will find many articles written about the usage of V45.89, and there are a lot of procedures/surgeries that are covered by this code. Hope this helps.
As per ICD guideline, 'status post' indicate that 'a patient is either a carrier of a disease or has the sequelae or residual of a past disease or condition & also status code is distinct from a history code. The history code indicates that the patient no longer has the condition'. Owing to this, a history code cannot be choosen and so a direct code should be taken. Eg: CAD s/p CABG implies 414.00 and V45.81.
