2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I70.335 – Atherosclerosis of unspecified type of bypass graft(s) of the right leg with ulceration of other part of foot

What it is

This code describes atherosclerotic narrowing or blockage in an unspecified bypass graft in the right leg, with an ulcer on another part of the foot. Use it when the record links the graft disease and the foot ulcer.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include reduced blood flow to the right lower extremity, poor wound healing, and a foot ulcer in a non-heel area. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents atherosclerosis affecting a bypass graft in the right leg and specifies an ulcer of another part of the foot. The ulcer and vascular disease should both be documented as related. Check documentation if the graft type is unclear or the ulcer site is not specified.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for atherosclerosis without a documented foot ulcer, or for ulcers unrelated to arterial disease. Do not use when the bypass graft is in a different limb or the ulcer location is not “other part of foot.”

Coding tip

Verify laterality, graft type, and ulcer location in the note before assigning I70.335.
