Other specified peripheral vascular diseases

This code represents a range of peripheral vascular conditions that are not specifically classified elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. These are disorders affecting blood vessels outside of the heart and brain, excluding those due to atherosclerosis, embolism, or other specified causes. It encompasses various non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory, and non-thrombotic peripheral vascular pathologies.

Use this code for diagnoses of peripheral vascular disease that are clearly documented but do not fit more specific codes. Examples include vasospastic disorders like Raynaud's phenomenon (when not specified as primary or secondary), acrocyanosis, or other functional peripheral arterial diseases. Documentation should clearly state the type of peripheral vascular disease and confirm it's not due to atherosclerosis, embolism, or other conditions with more specific codes.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific ICD-10-CM code exists for the documented peripheral vascular disease.
• Ensure documentation clearly differentiates the condition from atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (I70.-) or other specified vascular disorders.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying systemic conditions that may be contributing to the peripheral vascular disease.
