Juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, without rupture

This code signifies a localized dilation of the abdominal aorta, specifically in the segment adjacent to the renal arteries, that has not experienced a tear or burst. This aneurysm involves the aorta near the origin of the renal arteries but does not extend into them.

Use this code for patients diagnosed with an unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm where imaging (e.g., CT angiography, ultrasound) confirms its location as juxtarenal. Documentation must clearly specify "juxtarenal" and explicitly state "without rupture" or imply its absence.

• Differentiate from infrarenal or pararenal aneurysms; the "juxtarenal" specificity is key.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "without rupture" to avoid miscoding a ruptured aneurysm.
• Always review imaging reports and physician notes for precise anatomical location and rupture status.
