The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Peripheral artery disease signs and symptoms include: Painful cramping in one or both of your hips, thighs or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. Leg numbness or weakness. Coldness in your lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side.
The ICD-10-CM code I70.0 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abdominal aortic atherosclerosis, aortic arch atherosclerosis, aortoiliac atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis of abdominal aorta, arteriosclerosis of aorta , arteriosclerosis of thoracic aorta, etc.
Some of the tests your doctor may rely on to diagnose peripheral artery disease are:
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 .
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).
Overview. Arterial occlusive disease is a condition in which the arteries throughout the body gradually become narrowed. It can affect arms and legs. Often, patients who suffer from lower extremity arterial occlusive disease also have other conditions, such as carotid artery disease and heart disease.

Disorder of arteries and arterioles, unspecified I77. 9 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. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
The narrowing is usually due to a buildup of fatty deposits (plaques) on the artery walls. Peripheral artery disease (also called peripheral arterial disease) is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs.
Occlusive peripheral arterial disease is blockage or narrowing of an artery in the legs (or rarely the arms), usually due to atherosclerosis and resulting in decreased blood flow. Symptoms depend on which artery is blocked and how severe the blockage is.
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or peripheral vascular occlusive disease (PVOD) is another name for peripheral arterial disease (or peripheral artery disease), often called PAD.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is chronic arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities caused by atherosclerosis. The PAD may cause intermittent claudication which is pain or weakness with walking that is relieved with rest. The muscle pain or weakness after exercise occurs distal to the arterial obstruction.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of chronic arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities. The arterial narrowing or obstruction that occurs as a result of the atherosclerotic process reduces blood flow to the lower limb during exercise or at rest.
Ischemic disease of the lower extremities, also called leg ischemia, occurs when an artery in the leg is partially or completely blocked by plaque, limiting blood flow and reducing the amount of oxygen supplied to the leg.
