ICD-10 Code I70.735 – Atherosclerosis of other type of bypass graft(s) of the right leg with ulceration of other part of foot (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I70.735 – Atherosclerosis of other type of bypass graft(s) of the right leg with ulceration of other part of foot
What it is
This code identifies atherosclerotic narrowing or blockage in another type of bypass graft in the right leg, with an associated ulcer on another part of the foot. Use it when the graft disease and ulcer are both documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include diminished graft flow, ischemic foot changes, and a documented ulcer on the foot that is linked to the vascular disease.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents atherosclerosis affecting a non-specific bypass graft in the right leg and also notes an ulcer on another part of the foot. The record should support both the graft location and the ulcer site. If the ulcer location or graft type is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for native artery disease without a bypass graft, or for ulcers not tied to the documented atherosclerotic graft condition. Check documentation if the right leg or foot site is not specified.
Coding tip
Verify the graft type, laterality, and ulcer location together before assigning I70.735.
