I80.293
ICD-10-CMPhlebitis and thrombophlebitis of other deep vessels of lower extremity, bilateral
This code signifies inflammation of a vein, accompanied by clot formation, affecting deep veins in both lower extremities, excluding those specifically identified as superficial, femoral, or popliteal. It indicates a bilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in other specified deep vessels of the legs.
Apply this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of phlebitis and thrombophlebitis involving deep veins in both the right and left lower extremities, and the specific vessels are not otherwise classified (e.g., not femoral, popliteal, or superficial). This code is appropriate for conditions like bilateral posterior tibial vein thrombosis or bilateral peroneal vein thrombosis.
