About ICD-9-CM 453.51
453.51 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for chronic venous embolism and thrombosis of deep vessels of proximal lower extremity. 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as I82.519 (Chronic embolism and thrombosis of unspecified femoral vein), I82.529 (Chronic embolism and thrombosis of unspecified iliac vein) and I82.539 (Chronic embolism and thrombosis of unspecified popliteal vein). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
