{{discuss| PVD is also under [[Atherosclerosis of arteries of arms or legs]], so when it comes to coding PVD which is correct to use? Is Limb Ischemia more acute than just regular PVD? Would you code Limb Ischemia for those with symptoms of claudication and Atherosclerosis of Arteries of Arms and Legs for those who are asymptomatic?
