Vertebral Artery Stenosis
When the heart pumps in an irregular, uncoordinated way, there is a decreased flow of blood to the body, which is typically slow moving and likely to cause a blood clot. In the majority of cases, the clots form in the left atrial appendage, a small, pouchlike sac in the top left chamber of the heart. If the clots travel through the arteries in the heart, they can cause a stroke.
The left colic artery is the first branch of the inferior mesenteric artery and supplies blood to the descending colon and transverse colon, both of which are parts of the large intestine. This artery travels to the left side of the abdomen and branches into ascending and descending parts.
Vertebral artery occlusions fall under the umbrella of Vertebrobasilar Disease (VBD), otherwise known as Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency (VBI). The condition is defined by inadequate blood flow to the rear section of the brain responsible for coordination, vision, balance, consciousness and other necessary functions.
Occlusion of a major lower extremity artery is a primary stimulus to the enlargement of pre-existing collateral vessels, and the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is the most common site of lower extremity arterial occlusions (4).
Superficial femoral artery: This part of the femoral artery continues from the common femoral artery. It delivers blood to the lower leg, including the muscles at the front of your thigh and part of your knee.
Occlusion and stenosis of other precerebral arteries I65. 8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I65. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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).
In human anatomy, the superficial temporal artery is a major artery of the head. It arises from the external carotid artery when it splits into the superficial temporal artery and maxillary artery. Superficial temporal artery. Frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery.
The popliteal artery is the direct continuation of the superficial femoral artery, at the point where it exits the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus, and passes into the popliteal fossa as the vessel courses posteriorly behind the knee.
ICD-10 code I70. 92 for Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Embolism and thrombosis of iliac artery I74. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I74. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 Codes That Support Medical Necessity and Covered by Medicare Program: Group 1 Paragraph: Extracranial Arteries Studies (93880-93882) Use a diagnosis code of R22. 1 (localized swelling, mass, and lump, neck) to report pulsatile neck mass.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is often used interchangeably with the term “peripheral vascular disease (PVD).” The term “PAD” is recommended to describe this condition because it includes venous in addition to arterial disorders.
ICD-10 code I73. 9 for Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
I73. 9 - Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
04LL4ZZ is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Occlusion of Left Femoral Artery, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

The ICD code I709 is used to code Atheroma. An atheroma is an accumulation of degenerative material in the tunica intima (inner layer) of artery walls. The material consists of (mostly) macrophage cells, or debris, containing lipids (cholesterol and fatty acids), calcium and a variable amount of fibrous connective tissue.
Atheroma occurs in atherosclerosis, which is one of the three subtypes of arteriosclerosis (which are atherosclerosis, Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis and arteriolosclerosis).
