ICD-10 code: I70.611
Disease category: I70.61: Atherosclerosis of nonbiological bypass graft(s) of the extremities with intermittent claudication
Atherosclerosis of nonbiological bypass graft(s) of the extremities with intermittent claudication, right leg
Atherosclerosis is a medical condition that occurs when plaque, a buildup of cholesterol and other substances, forms in the walls of the arteries. This can lead to narrowing and blockages in the arteries, reducing blood flow to the extremities. When this occurs in nonbiological bypass grafts, it is known as atherosclerosis of nonbiological bypass grafts of the extremities.
Intermittent claudication is a symptom of atherosclerosis in which a person experiences pain or discomfort in their legs during physical activity. This is due to a lack of blood flow to the affected area.
