Assign code K55.21, Angiodysplasia of colon with hemorrhage, for the bleeding small bowel AVM, not stated as congenital.
Short description: Pulmonary AV malformatn. ICD-9-CM 747.32 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 747.32 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
Since an arteriovenous malformation is a vascular ectasia similar to an angiodysplasia, would it be appropriate to assign code K55.21, Angiodysplasia of colon with hemorrhage? Assign code K55.21, Angiodysplasia of colon with hemorrhage, for the bleeding small bowel AVM, not stated as congenital.

Q27.30ICD-10 code Q27. 30 for Arteriovenous malformation, site unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are characterized by an abnormal leash of vessels allowing for arteriovenous shunting. They can occur anywhere in the body but are most common in the brain 1. There is direct arteriovenous communication with no intervening capillary bed. They can be congenital or acquired ref.
772.10 - Intraventricular hemorrhage unspecified grade. ICD-10-CM.
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a serious medical condition. Some people have no symptoms of an AVM until they have a bleeding event. AVMs are mostly found in your brain and spinal cord, but can be present anywhere in your body.
ICD-10 code Z98. 890 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Z86. 79 Personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
The case definition of using the ICD-10-CM code of I60 or I61 as the primary diagnosis to identify acute hemorrhagic stroke yielded a PPV and sensitivity of 98.2% and 93.1%, respectively.
Typically, AVMs occur in the head, neck, and spine. If an AVM is anywhere else, including the arms, legs, heart, lungs, liver, or the reproductive or genital system, we call it a peripheral arteriovenous malformation. Blood circulates in our bodies through blood vessels called arteries, capillaries, and veins.
AVM blood flow An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, which disrupts normal blood flow and oxygen circulation. Arteries are responsible for taking oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain.
On MRI, a typical unruptured AVM appears as a tightly packed or loose tangle of vessels. The degree of confidence in MRI is high. MRI scans of vascular malformations of the brain are unique and typically are diagnostic of cerebral or spinal AVM, with a high degree of confidence.
The following tests may be used to diagnose your arteriovenous malformation (AVM), as well as help identify its size, location and blood-flow pattern. Angiography This special X-ray exam shows the structure of a person's blood vessels and is essential in the diagnosis and treatment planning of AVMs.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is more sensitive than CT and can show more subtle changes in brain tissue associated with a brain AVM . MRI also provides information about the exact location of the brain AVM and any related bleeding in the brain, which is important for determining treatment options.
CT scans use X-rays and MRI scans use magnetic fields to create images of the brain or spine. CT and MR scans detect the AVM but are not precise enough to see the details of an AVM's structure and location, which are best seen on cerebral angiography (angiogram).
The local pulmonary complications may include pulmonary AVM arterial rupture leading to severe hemoptysis or hemothorax, which can be life-threatening.
Assign code K55.21, Angiodysplasia of colon with hemorrhage, for the bleeding small bowel AVM, not stated as congenital. Although the index directs the coding professional to a congenital code, according to research, vascular ectasias, such as angiodysplasias and arteriovenous malformations, involving the GI tract typically occur in adults 60 or older, and is a common cause of bleeding in that age group. The etiology is believed to be degenerative in nature rather than congenital.

There is no documentation indicating whether the AVM is acquired or congenital. The Index to Diseases directs the coding professional to Q27.33, Arteriovenous malformation of digestive system vessel. Since an arteriovenous malformation is a vascular ectasia similar to an angiodysplasia, would it be appropriate to assign code K55.21, Angiodysplasia of colon with hemorrhage?
Q27.30 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation, site unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. This vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system, but can appear in any location. Although many AVMs are asymptomatic, they can cause intense pain or bleeding or lead to other serious ...
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.
Clinically undetermined. Provider unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.
I would not have the faintest idea. Your doctor or his office would know this.
