About ICD-9-CM 453.2
453.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other venous embolism and thrombosis of inferior vena cava. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as I82.220 (Acute embolism and thrombosis of inferior vena cava) and I82.221 (Chronic embolism and thrombosis of inferior vena cava). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
