Juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, ruptured

This code signifies a life-threatening condition involving a ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, specifically located near the renal arteries. A ruptured aneurysm means the weakened aortic wall has torn, leading to internal bleeding. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with a specific location identified as juxtarenal. This diagnosis is typically made based on imaging studies (e.g., CT scan, ultrasound) and clinical signs of hemorrhage and shock.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "ruptured" and "juxtarenal" to support this specific code.
• Differentiate from unruptured aneurysms (I71.31) or aneurysms of other aortic segments.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter.
