I73.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code I739 is used to code Gangrene

Gangrene (or gangrenous necrosis) is a type of necrosis caused by a critically insufficient blood supply. This potentially life-threatening condition may occur after an injury or infection, or in people suffering from any chronic health problem affecting blood circulation. The primary cause of gangrene is reduced blood supply to the affected tissues, which results in cell death. Diabetes and long-term smoking increase the risk of suffering from gangrene.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

443.9
Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 443.9 was previously used, I73.9 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
