I am trying look for a code for actively bleeding gastrointestinal vessel anomaly.

578.9 might be appropriate. Can you be more specific?

Have you looked at 569.85? It comes up angiodysplasia of intestine with hemorrhage or can also be called AVM (arteriovenous malformation). There is a Coding Clinic Third Quarter 1996 page 9 to 10 on this that may help.
Thanks!
