Personal history of other venous thrombosis and embolism

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a venous thrombosis or embolism that is not specifically categorized elsewhere. It signifies that the patient has previously experienced a blood clot in a vein, or a blockage caused by such a clot, and is no longer actively being treated for the acute event. This history is important for assessing future risk and guiding preventative measures.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in an unspecified location, a pulmonary embolism (PE) that is no longer acute, or other venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) that do not have a more specific "personal history of" code. It is appropriate for follow-up appointments, risk assessments, and when a patient presents for a condition unrelated to the past VTE but their history is relevant to their overall care.

• Do not use this code for active or current venous thrombosis or embolism; use codes from categories I80-I82 or I26 for active conditions.
• Always seek a more specific "personal history of" code if the type and location of the venous thrombosis or embolism are known (e.g., personal history of DVT of lower extremity).
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis, indicating a historical factor influencing current care or risk.
