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 legs (hence leg ulcers).:846 They are the major occurrence of chronic wounds, occurring in 70% to 90% of leg ulcer cases.

ICD-10 code: I87. 2 Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral)
Chronic venous insufficiency. Since the blood can't flow well in your legs, the swelling may be extreme. This extreme swelling can put so much pressure on your skin that venous ulcers form.
Venous Stasis Ulcer w/o varicose vein = I87. 2 per ICD-10 index, which is venous insufficiency. for the ulcer.
The difference between the two lies in the type of blood vessel that isn't working correctly. PAD affects your arteries, but CVI affects your veins.
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.
Rationale: 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).
A venous ulcer, sometimes called a varicose ulcer or a venous stasis ulcer, is a leg wound that happens when the leg veins don't circulate blood back toward the heart. It is a typ eof vascular ulcer. Blood can back up in the veins, building up pressure on the skin, which can cause an open sore to form.
Venous ulcers, also referred to as stasis, insufficiency or varicose ulcers, are the result of malfunctioning venous valves causing pressure in the veins to increase. These typically occur along the medial or lateral distal (lower) leg.
Chronic venous hypertension occurs when there's increased pressure inside your veins. The term chronic venous hypertension is a medical term for what is more descriptively called chronic venous insufficiency.
Venous ulcers (also known as venous stasis ulcers or nonhealing wounds) are open wounds occurring around the ankle or lower leg. They do not heal for weeks or months, and occasionally persist longer.
Arterial wounds, also known as arterial ulcers, are painful injuries in your skin caused by poor circulation. Arterial ulcers typically happen when blood is unable to flow into the lower extremities, like the legs and feet.
Commonly located on the ankle or calf, venous stasis ulcers are painful and red in color but may be covered with a yellow, fibrous tissue and an irregular border. Drainage and discharge are possible with venous stasis ulcers. This type of ulcer is common in patients with a history of leg swelling or varicose veins.
Left untreated, these damaged veins can cause serious complications, such as ulcers, bleeding, and a potentially fatal condition called deep vein thrombosis.
Leg ulcers are usually caused by underlying medical conditions like venous disease, lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), peripheral arterial disease, or having had a leg ulcer before. Injury or surgery in the infected leg is another cause of leg ulcers.
This is called venous insufficiency. This leads to the high pressure in the lower leg veins. The increase in pressure and buildup of fluid prevents nutrients and oxygen from getting to tissues. The lack of nutrients causes cells to die, damaging the tissue, and a wound can form.
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 legs (hence leg ulcers).:846 They are the major occurrence of chronic wounds, occurring in 70% to 90% of leg ulcer cases.

Venous ulcers develop mostly along the medial distal leg, and can be very painful. Venous ulcer on the back of the right leg.
Type-2 Excludes means the excluded conditions are different, although they may appear similar. A patient may have both conditions, but one does not include the other. Excludes 2 means "not coded here."
