I82.432ICD-10-CM Code for Acute embolism and thrombosis of left popliteal vein I82. 432.
Popliteal vein thrombosis is a type of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is also called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is potentially life-threatening because the thrombus can sometimes break free and travel through the heart to the lungs. A thrombus that travels to the lungs is known as a pulmonary embolism (PE).Feb 8, 2019
I82.4012022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I82. 401: Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of right lower extremity.
The popliteal vein is one of the major blood vessels in the lower body. It runs up the back of the knee and carries blood from the lower leg to the heart. Sometimes, a blood clot, or a thrombosis, can block this important vein. This is known as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The Popliteal Fossa is a diamond-shaped space behind the knee joint. It is formed between the muscles in the posterior compartments of the thigh and leg. This anatomical landmark is the major route by which structures pass between the thigh and leg.
Treatment with anticoagulation is the accepted standard of care for DVT involving the proximal leg veins, specifically, the popliteal, femoral, and iliac veins.Nov 9, 2017

Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of lower extremity, bilateral. I82. 403 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The popliteal vein is located at the posterior, or back, of the knee. It is responsible for the majority of the lower legs' venous return. 1 It is sometimes called the femoropopliteal vein.Apr 22, 2021
The popliteal vein forms from the posterior and anterior tibial veins and ascends through the popliteal fossa to the opening in adductor magnus alongside the popliteal artery where it becomes the femoral vein.Dec 8, 2021
The popliteal vein is a deep vein of the leg. It drains blood away from the leg into the femoral vein, which drains blood to the inferior vena cava to return to the right atrium of the heart.
The ICD code I82 is used to code Thrombosis. Thrombosis (Greek: θρόμβωσις) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus; Greek: θρόμβος) inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss.
A clot that breaks free and begins to travel around the body is known as an embolus. Specialty:
