Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

557.0
Acute vascular insufficiency of intestine (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 557.0 was previously used, K55.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
