What is Peripheral vascular disease ICD 10?
Peripheral vascular disease ICD 10 (PVD), also known as Peripheral Artery Disease ICD 10 (PAD), is a very condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, usually the legs. In PAD, the reduced blood flow is insufficient to meet the demands of the legs or arms, often causing leg pain when walking (called as claudication) and other symptoms. PAD is usually indicative of atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty deposits, which causes the arteries to restrict blood flow to the legs mostly and occasionally the arms. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a disorder characterized by the narrowing, blockage, or spasming of blood vessels outside the heart and brain.
Causes of Peripheral vascular disease ICD 10:
ICD 10 Code for PVD is I73.9. Peripheral vascular disease ICD 10 commonly results from atherosclerosis. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is generally caused by atherosclerosis, which occurs when fatty material (plaque) accumulates on the walls of arteries,and make them narrow. In addition to it, the arterial walls become stiffer and lose their ability to widen (dilate) to accommodate increased blood flow when necessary.
Symptoms for Peripheral Artery Disease ICD 10:
- Coldness in the lower leg or foot
- Leg numbness or weakness
- No pulse or weak pulse in legs or feet
- Painful cramping in hips, thighs, or calf muscles after activities
- Shiny skin on the legs
- Slow growth of toenails
- Sores on toes, feet, or legs that won't heal
- Pain when using the arms, such as during manual tasks
Coding Suggestions for ICD 10 code for Peripheral Vascular Disease - I73.9
Arteriosclerosis is a known cause of Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), but it should not be assumed as part of the disease process unless explicitly documented. If PVD of the extremities is documented without mentioning arteriosclerosis (including plaque or calcification), the correct code assignment is unspecified PVD. Do not assign a code from category I70.XXX range unless arteriosclerosis is documented. The "with" rule applies if arteriosclerosis of the extremities or PVD is present in a diabetic patient.
Diagnostic:
Blood tests:
Check cholesterol and blood sugar levels.Ankle-brachial index (ABI):
It compares the BP in the ankle and arm.Ultrasound:
Evaluates blood flow in leg arteries.Angiography:
Uses X-rays and dye to view blood flow in arteries.
Treatment:
- Exercise, healthy diet, and quitting smoking.
Medications:
Cholesterol drugs, blood thinners like aspirin or clopidogrel.Surgical procedures:
Angioplasty and stent placement, bypass surgery, thrombolytic therapy.
