ICD-10-CM Code I74.8
Embolism and thrombosis of other arteries

BILLABLE
Billable Code

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

I74.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of embolism and thrombosis of other arteries. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code I74 is used to code Arterial embolism

Arterial embolism is a sudden interruption of blood flow to an organ or body part due to an embolus adhering to the wall of an artery blocking the flow of blood, the major type of embolus being a blood clot (thromboembolism). Sometimes, pulmonary embolism is classified as arterial embolism as well, in the sense that the clot follows the pulmonary artery carrying deoxygenated blood away from the heart. However, pulmonary embolism is generally classified as a form of venous embolism, because the embolus forms in veins. Arterial embolism is the major cause of infarction (which may also be caused by e.g. arterial compression, rupture or pathological vasoconstriction).
