ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
415.11 — Iatrogenic pulmonary embolism and infarction
About ICD-9-CM 415.11
415.11 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for iatrogenic pulmonary embolism and infarction. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 7 ICD-10-CM codes, such as I26.90 (Septic pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale), I26.99 (Other pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale) and T80.0XXA (Air embolism following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
