I97 includes complications such as intraoperative hemorrhage, postoperative thrombosis, and other circulatory system disorders that occur as a direct result of surgical procedures. It does not cover complications that are classified under other specific codes.
I97 codes should be used when documenting complications that arise during or after surgical procedures affecting the circulatory system, particularly when these complications are not adequately described by other specific codes.
Documentation for I97 should include detailed descriptions of the surgical procedure performed, the nature of the complications encountered, and any relevant clinical findings or interventions undertaken to address these complications.
