So when it is clearly documented as Ischaemic rest pain, I would prefer to give 440.22. So any condition referring to PAD with these symptoms could be included onto 440.22,unless thereis only mention of intermittetant claudication which has its own specificity440.21.

More serious than Claudication is a symptom of PAD known as rest pain. It occurs when blockages are so severe that muscles can't get enough oxygen when they're at rest. Foot pain is most common. At first, it's most troublesome when the leg is elevated, particularly in bed at night.

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.

PAD, PVD, and intermittent claudication not otherwise specified are classified to ICD-9-CM code 443.9, which also includes peripheral angiopathy not otherwise specified and spasm of artery.
Chronic limb ischaemia is peripheral arterial disease that results in a symptomatic reduced blood supply to the limbs. It is typically caused by atherosclerosis (rarely vasculitis) and will commonly affect the lower limbs (however the upper limbs and gluteals can also be affected).
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe blockage in the arteries of the lower extremities, which markedly reduces blood-flow. It is a serious form of peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, but less common than claudication.
INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS Acute limb ischemia is defined as a quickly developing or sudden decrease in limb perfusion, usually producing new or worsening symptoms or signs, and often threatening limb viability [1].
Ischemic foot is a condition of decreased arterial perfusion. It has several etiologies, atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, including that secondary to diabetes mellitus, being the most common.
