What is the ICD

ICD-10 code I70. 209 for Unspecified atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities, unspecified extremity is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .

What is Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities?

Overview. Atherosclerosis of the extremities is a disease of the peripheral blood vessels that is characterized by narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. The narrowing of the arteries causes a decrease in blood flow.

What is Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with intermittent claudication bilateral legs?

The main cause of intermittent claudication is a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD). That condition happens with atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of a wax-like substance called plaque on the inside of your arteries. As that buildup gets worse, there's less room for blood to flow through those arteries.
