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.
The subclavian vein is a paired large vein, one on either side of the body, that is responsible for draining blood from the upper extremities, allowing this blood to return to the heart. The left subclavian vein plays a key role in the absorption of lipids, by allowing products that have been carried by lymph in the thoracic duct to enter the bloodstream. The diameter of the subclavian veins is approximately 1–2 cm, depending on the individual.

Occlusion and stenosis of left carotid artery The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I65. 22 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I65.
The left and right subclavian arteries are located in the thorax (chest) underneath the clavicles (commonly known as the collarbones). The left subclavian artery receives oxygenated blood from the aortic arch (the top portion of the largest artery in the body that carries blood away from the heart).
I77. 1 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 I77. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
I82. B - Embolism and thrombosis of subclavian vein | ICD-10-CM.
The left subclavian artery arises directly from the aortic arch, about 1 cm distal to the origin of the left common carotid artery; the right subclavian artery in contrast arises from the brachiocephalic trunk, which is also where the right common carotid artery originates.
The subclavian arteries provide blood flow to the upper extremities. On the left, the subclavian artery originates directly from the aorta distal to the left common carotid artery.
Subclavian artery disease is a form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which involves blockages in arteries outside of your heart. However, the blood vessels of the upper body are affected less often.
Schematic of the proximal aorta and its branches. The left subclavian artery is the fifth branch of the aorta and the third branch from the arch of the aorta. The right subclavian artery arises from the brachiocephalic artery and its branches. (Right subclavian is at upper left, and left subclavian is at upper right.)

Practice Essentials. Subclavian artery thrombosis is a condition in which the blood flow through the subclavian artery is obstructed. The occlusion typically arises secondary to damage to the intima of the vessel.
Effort subclavian vein thrombosis, also known as Paget-Schroetter syndrome, is a blood clot that occurs in the subclavian vein under the collarbone. A type of thoracic outlet syndrome, effort vein thrombosis usually occurs when the vein is compressed between the first rib and collarbone.
Acute embolism and thrombosis of superior vena cava I82. 210 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 I82. 210 became effective on October 1, 2021.
