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 .
The aorta is the largest artery (blood vessel) in the body and carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all parts of the body. Aortic occlusion is a blockage of the aorta somewhere along its path. Aortic occlusion can result in long-term damage to the organs.
Aortoiliac occlusive disease is a type of vein condition in the legs. It occurs when the iliac artery that brings blood to your legs becomes narrow or blocked by plaque. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or cramping in the lower limbs, gangrene in the feet, and erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.
Patients presented with instantaneous severe lower limb pain, coolness, paleness, absence of pulses with or without sensory or motor deficits are diagnosed as acute thrombotic occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta.

Thrombotic occlusion of the terminal aorta is a condition of obstruc- tion within the lumen of the terminal aorta at its bifurcation. The exact pathogenesis of the disease is not clear. The pathologic characteristics, however, are relatively constant.
Medical Definition of aortoiliac : of, relating to, or joining the abdominal aorta and the iliac arteries an aortoiliac bypass graft.
Aortoiliac atherosclerosis, also called aortoiliac occlusive disease, happens when plaque builds up (atherosclerosis) on the walls of your iliac arteries. Your iliac arteries branch off from the end of your aorta. They bring blood down to your legs. Atherosclerosis makes the arteries narrow and hard.
Surgical bypass or thrombectomy, as well as interventional treatment with thrombolysis and, usually, adjunctive angioplasty and stent placement are standard therapies. Mechanical thrombectomy has also become available for arterial occlusions but is usually used in conjunction with thrombolysis.
An Abdominal Aortic-Iliac Duplex is an ultrasound test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to evaluate the aorta, the main artery in the abdomen, and other arteries that deliver blood to the major organs in the body.
Angiography of the aortoiliac vessels performed at the time of coronary angiography may detect any occult renal artery stenosis and atherosclerotic involvement of the aortoiliac segment.
The aortic bifurcation is the point at which the abdominal aorta bifurcates (forks) into the left and right common iliac arteries....Aortic bifurcationSourceAbdominal aortaBranchesCommon iliac arteriesVeinInferior vena cavaIdentifiers7 more rows
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I74.09:
I74.09 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other arterial embolism and thrombosis of abdominal aorta. The code I74.09 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Aneurysm - a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Atherosclerosis - a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
