Hello, All!!

I've been looking for an ICD-9 code for a groin pseudoaneurysm (not an AAA) for the last half hour.

Can anyone help?

Unless the physician specifies a specific artery/vessel, you would have to use 442.89-aneurysm of specified site. Check the documentation before you assign the iliac artery.
