I82.4Z ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I82.4Z. Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of distal lower extremity 2016 2017 2018 2019 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code. Applicable To Acute embolism and thrombosis of deep vein of calf NOS. Acute embolism and thrombosis of deep vein of lower leg NOS.
Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of lower extremity. A blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein in the lower extremity. Deep vein thrombosis, or dvt, is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Most deep vein clots occur in the lower leg or thigh. If the vein swells, the condition is called thrombophlebitis.

Proximal DVT is one that is located in the popliteal, femoral, or iliac veins. Isolated distal DVT has no proximal component, is located below the knee, and is confined to the calf veins (peroneal, posterior, anterior tibial, and muscular veins) (table 1).
Distal DVT encompasses thromboses located below the knee in the calf veins (ie, the popliteal vein is not involved). Most calf vein DVTs are located in the posterior tibial and peroneal veins while anterior tibial and muscular vein DVTs are uncommon. Distal DVT can only be detected by whole leg ultrasonography.

Distal DVT can either be treated with anticoagulation (medicines that help prevent blood clots), with or without additional use of compression stockings, or no medications can be given, and monitoring with repeat ultrasounds can be performed to see if the clots grow, which requires anticoagulation.
Nevertheless, diagnosing and treating distal DVT has not been associated with better overall safety for patients. Indeed, the 3-month venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk was equivalent in patients left without treatment on the basis of either strategy.
The risk of a pulmonary embolism associated with a distal deep vein thrombosis (distal to the popliteal vein) is much lower (<5%). Although an isolated calf deep vein thrombosis is often considered innocuous, 1 , 5 a recent case suggests that this diagnosis can be clinically important.
Distal DVT is located along the lower leg and includes the infrapopliteal veins, such as the posterior tibial, peroneal, anterior tibial and muscular calf veins (soleal or gemellar). The popliteal vein is not considered distal. Distal DVT is not as common as proximal DVT.
The “distal” or “calf” deep veins The word “distal” refers to the deep veins below the knee. Though anatomical variability is often the case, these veins include the paired peroneal, posterior tibial, and anterior tibial veins that accompany the corresponding arteries of the lower leg (Figure 1).
The deep venous system of the calf includes the anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal veins. In the calf, these deep veins present as pairs on both sides of the artery.

Popliteal vein thrombosis happens when a blood clot blocks one of the blood vessels behind your knees. It's a serious condition, but it can sometimes be mistaken for a less-dangerous condition called a Baker's cyst.
The three factors of Virchow's triad include intravascular vessel wall damage, stasis of flow, and the presence of a hypercoagulable state.
The major deep veins of the lower extremities follow the course of the corresponding arteries. The deep venous system of the calf includes the anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal veins. In the calf, these deep veins present as pairs on both sides of the artery.
