Stasis dermatitis (also known as gravitational dermatitis, venous eczema, and venous stasis dermatitis) causes a red, itchy, scaly rash on the lower extremities. The condition most often occurs when there’s insufficient blood flow and decreased circulation to the veins in one or both of the legs.
Treatment
Stasis dermatitis most frequently affects people with poor circulation, usually people over the age of 50. Women are more likely to get it than men. Not everyone with venous insufficiency develops stasis dermatitis, but poor circulation increases risk.
coexist in the same patient. Ulcers that form at ankle, calf, or pretibial sites are likely secondary to venous reflux (Figure 1). Any ulcer in a diabetic patient is by convention consid-ered a diabetic ulcer. Pressure ulcers are known to occur on those areas subject to pressure, such as over the heel in a bedridden patient or over the
I87. 2 - Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral). ICD-10-CM.
The stasis ulcer caused by venous insufficiency is captured first with the code for underlying disease (459.81) followed by the code for the location of the ulcer (707.13).
The terms varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) are often used interchangeably. But in fact, CVI refers to a broader range of vascular disorders than just swollen veins. You can have CVI but not see varicose veins on your legs or feet. Chronic venous insufficiency is also called venous reflux.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. CVI causes blood to “pool” or collect in these veins, and this pooling is called stasis.

The most common types of peripheral venous disease include: Chronic venous insufficiency – This occurs when the walls and/or valves in the veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart. Varicose veins – These are gnarled, enlarged veins that usually occur in the legs.
Actually, chronic venous insufficiency and chronic venous stasis are two names used interchangeably for the same vascular condition. Within this article, we will refer to both as CVI. Arteries and veins regulate normal blood flow. Arteries pump oxygen-rich blood from the heart to your organs and tissues.
PVD occurs when disease affects any of the vessels outside of your heart, wherever they happen to be — in your arms, legs, brain or anywhere else. A common type of PVD is venous insufficiency, which occurs when the valves in the leg veins don't shut properly during blood's return to the heart.
CVI may affect up to 20% of adults. CVI can be caused by damaged valves in the veins or vein blockage. Both may be a result of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots in the deep veins of the legs. If a clot forms in the superficial veins, there is a very low risk of DVT occurring.
The edema associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is the most common type of edema (90%). Like all types of edema, it is defined by an increase in interstitial fluid volume.
Primary venous insufficiency is of uncertain etiology, whereas secondary venous insufficiency is attributed to an acquired condition. The anatomic classification describes the superficial, deep, and perforating venous systems, with multiple venous segments that may be involved.
Typical symptoms of venous insufficiency include aching, pain, tightness, skin irritation, pruritus, heaviness, tingling, muscle cramps, and cosmetically unsatisfying varicose veins. Symptoms often worsen during the course of the day and with prolonged standing.

Provider's guide to diagnose and code PAD Peripheral Artery Disease (ICD-10 code I73. 9) is estimated to affect 12 to 20% of Americans age 65 and older with as many as 75% of that group being asymptomatic (Rogers et al, 2011).
The ICD code I872 is used to code Chronic venous insufficiency. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition in which the veins cannot pump enough blood back to the heart. The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux which is a treatable condition.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I87.2 and a single ICD9 code, 459.81 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
As functional venous valves are required to provide for efficient blood return from the lower extremities, this condition typically affects the legs. If the impaired vein function causes significant symptoms, such as swelling and ulcer formation, it is referred to as chronic venous disease. CVI includes varicose veins and superficial venous reflux ...

Venous ulcers (venous insufficiency ulceration, stasis ulcers, stasis dermatitis, varicose ulcers, or ulcus cruris) are wounds that are thought to occur due to improper functioning of venous valves, usually of the leg s (hence leg ulcers).:846 . They are the major occurrence of chronic wounds, occurring in 70% to 90% of leg ulcer cases.

Venous stasis ulcer is a shallow would that occurs on the skin when the veins in the leg do not return blood back to the heart as normal. Symptoms are ulcers forming on the sides of the leg above the ankle and below the calf, the skin becoming dark red or purple over areas that blood is leaking out of the vein and dry, itchy skin.
When the walls or valves of the veins are weak or dont work properly, blood in the veins can flow backwards and pool in your legs. Valve problems can result from vein disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency or deep vein thrombosis .
The General Equivalency Mapping crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I83.019 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
