PVD is also synonymous with peripheral angiopathy. If the patient has atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities, use an additional code to provide other details, such as laterality and manifestations.

E11. 51 Diabetes type II with PAD/PVD. I73. 9 does NOT need to be coded.
A: Yes. According to Coding Clinic, Third Quarter 2018, you should assign ICD-10-CM code E11. 51 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene) along with an additional code from subcategory I70. 2- to fully capture the patient's condition.

: a disease of the blood or lymph vessels.
: a disease of very fine blood vessels thrombotic microangiopathy.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by amyloid beta-peptide deposits within small- to medium-sized blood vessels of the brain and leptomeninges. CAA is an important cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage in older adults [1,2].

Diabetes continues to be a challenge for coders since the new instruction/guideline was released in AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS, First Quarter 2016. This is effective with March 18, 2016 discharges. ICD-10-CM does assume the link between diabetes and multiple common conditions.
