I25. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. What is ischemia? What is ischemia? Ischemia is a condition in which the blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted or reduced in a part of the body. Cardiac ischemia is the name for decreased blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle.
You may have critical limb ischemia if you have any of the following symptoms:
Types of Right Leg Pain
Unspecified open wound, right lower leg, initial encounter

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.
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 .
Atherosclerosis can cause narrowing of any of the arteries throughout the body. This narrowing or occlusion is called stenosis, and can occur in the arteries in the (the legs), or more infrequently in the arms. When it occurs in the legs and feet, it causes a disease known as lower extremity arterial occlusive disease.
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 .
Limb ischemia is most often caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD), a type of peripheral vascular disease caused by hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis. In the beginning stages of PAD, plaque builds up in your blood vessels and starts sticking together.
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.
Acute limb ischaemia is caused by embolism or thrombosis, or rarely by dissection or trauma. Thrombosis is usually caused by peripheral vascular disease (atherosclerotic disease that leads to blood vessel blockage), while an embolism is usually of cardiac origin.
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).
ICD-10-PCS Code 04LQ3ZZ - Occlusion of Left Anterior Tibial Artery, Percutaneous Approach - Codify by AAPC.
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.
