ICD Code I70.219

ICD code I70.219 is a diagnosis for atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing) of the native arteries in the arms or legs, causing intermittent claudication (pain or cramping during activity), but it does not specify which limb is affected.

1. Presence of atherosclerotic disease in native arteries of the extremities

2. Clinical evidence or documentation of intermittent claudication (pain, cramping, or fatigue in limb muscles during exercise, relieved by rest)

3. No specification of which extremity is affected

4. Absence of bypass grafts or stents in the affected arteries

5. No documentation of rest pain, ulceration, or gangrene
