What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Atherosclerosis of native arteries of left leg with ulceration of other part of lower left leg
FY2020 Description revised ~~Atherosclerosis of native arteries of left leg with ulceration of other part of lower left leg~~ Atherosclerosis of native arteries of left leg with ulceration of other part of lower leg
