ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases.
Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
09 for Other arterial embolism and thrombosis of abdominal aorta is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Aortic occlusion is a blockage of the aorta somewhere along its path. Aortic occlusion can result in long-term damage to the organs. To schedule an appointment with the Heart and Vascular Institute, call 813-844-3900 or email [email protected]. Causes.
Aortoilliac occlusive disease is occlusive atherosclerosis disease involving the distal aorta and bifurcation of iliac arteries and it is a subtype of peripheral arterial disease. Total occlusion of the abdominal aorta is a rare occurrence with an incidence of 3% -8.5% among the aortoiliac occlusive disease patients.

Code Also annotations, or....Other arterial embolism and thrombosis of abdominal aortaI74. 09 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 I74. 09 became effective on October 1, 2021.This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I74.
An occlusion is a complete or partial blockage of a blood vessel. While occlusions can happen in both veins and arteries, the more serious ones occur in the arteries. An occlusion can reduce or even stop the flow of oxygen-rich blood to downstream vital tissues like the heart, brain, or extremities.
DISCUSSION. Abdominal aortic occlusion of young adults (AOYA) is a rare vascular disease that often affects young women with dyslipidaemia who smoke; the most common age of presentation is during the third decade [3]. AOYA usually affects the infrarenal aorta and common iliac arteries.
The aorta delivers oxygenated blood pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. The most common location of arterial aneurysm formation is the abdominal aorta, specifically, the segment of the abdominal aorta below the kidneys. An abdominal aneurysm located below the kidneys is called an infrarenal aneurysm.
L4Description. The aortic bifurcation is the point at which the abdominal aorta bifurcates into the left and right common iliac arteries. The aortic bifurcation is usually seen at the level of L4, just above the junction of the left and right common iliac veins.
Acute arterial occlusion is synonymous with acute limb ischemia and is considered a vascular emergency. Acute limb ischemia is defined as a sudden loss of limb perfusion for up to 2 weeks after the initiating event. Acute arterial occlusion can occur in any peripheral artery of the upper and lower extremities.
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are a form of peripheral artery disease, where the entire vessel is completely blocked by cholesterol and inflammatory cells, preventing any blood to flow to the arm or leg. Often adjacent blood vessels will form collateral blood flow to maintain some blood flow to the limb.
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 .
For hierarchical condition categories (HCC) used in Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment plans, certain diagnosis codes are used as to determine severity of illness, risk, and resource utilization. HCC impacts are often overlooked in the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM conversion. The physician should examine the patient each year and compliantly document the status of all chronic and acute conditions. HCC codes are payment multipliers.
Note: There is nothing in the documentation that says that there was an error in the prescription for Coumadin or that the patient took it incorrectly. If the prescription was correctly prescribed and correctly administered/taken then it would be an adverse effect.
