Stenosis of peripheral vascular stent
The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the thigh and leg. The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery or profunda femoris artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle.It enters and passes through the adductor canal, and becomes the popliteal artery as it passes through the adductor hiatus in the ...

Atherosclerosis can cause narrowing of any of the arteries throughout the body. This narrowing or occlusion is called stenosis, and can occur in the arteries in the (the legs), or more infrequently in the arms. When it occurs in the legs and feet, it causes a disease known as lower extremity arterial occlusive disease.
ICD-10 code I65. 2 for Occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .

thighThe femoral artery is the major blood vessel supplying blood to your legs. It's in your upper thigh, right near your groin. The artery is a common access point for minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures because of its large diameter.
Lower Extremity PAD Three of the arteries most commonly blocked are the iliac artery, the superficial femoral artery (known as SFA), and the infrapopliteal arteries that are below the knee.
ICD-10 code I70. 92 for Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities I70. 92 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70. 92 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Occlusion of a major lower extremity artery is a primary stimulus to the enlargement of pre-existing collateral vessels, and the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is the most common site of lower extremity arterial occlusions (4).
These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. This narrowing is usually the result of a build-up of plaque within the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis. Stenosis can worsen over time to completely block the artery which may lead to stroke.
Iliac artery disease is caused by the narrowing of the arteries leading to the legs. This narrowing can also be called a stenosis. It is usually caused by a buildup of fat or calcium deposits called plaque. Over time, this plaque can build to a total blockage of the artery.
pelvisThe pelvis is the lower part of your torso, just above where your legs connect at the hips. The iliac arteries branch off of the bottom of the aorta, the large artery coming out of the top of the heart. The iliac arteries are peripheral arteries.
