A digital artery aneurysm is a localized dilation or bulging of a digital artery, which supplies blood to the fingers. This condition can result from various factors, including trauma, atherosclerosis, or genetic predispositions. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, or a pulsating sensation in the affected digit. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as thrombosis or ischemia.
An aortic aneurysm represents an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta. If it ruptures it causes severe pain; massive internal hemmorage and, without prompt treatment, results in a quick death. A digital artery aneurysm is very rare. This is an aneurysm of one of your fingers. It can be treated with surgery and is not fatal.
An aneurysm is a sac-like widening of an artery, usually due to weak artery walls. The carotid artery is an artery in the neck going to the head. An aneurysm in a carotid artery is known as a carotid artery aneurysm.
Aneurysm
Abdominal aneurysmorrhaphy is the medical term meaning suture of an abdominal aneurysm. A localized balloonlike enlargement of an artery is an aneurysm.

It is called an Aneurysm

In ICD-9, the coding for aneurysms and specific conditions is distinct. A right posterior communicating artery aneurysm would typically be coded as aneurysm of the right posterior communicating artery (ICD-9 code 437.3). An anterior communicating artery aneurysm would generally be coded as 437.1. For right otitis externa, the code would be 380.12. Each condition would need to be documented separately in the medical records.
No CPT code was found for "craniotomy clipping of right posterior communicating artery aneurysm."
Non ruptured aneurysm is 437.3 and ruptured is 430
