Summary. Carotid artery disease is a vague diagnosis and without further clarification from the physician is coded to I77. 9 (Disorder of arteries and arterioles, unspecified) at this time.
Carotid artery disease is caused by a buildup of plaques in arteries that deliver blood to your brain. Plaques are clumps of cholesterol, calcium, fibrous tissue and other cellular debris that gather at microscopic injury sites within the artery. This process is called atherosclerosis.
Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large arteries on either side of the neck. These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. This narrowing is usually the result of a build-up of plaque within the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis.

What is the carotid artery? The right common carotid artery extends up the neck off the innominate artery which is the first major branch off the aorta – the main artery in the body. The left common carotid artery is the second main branch and arises directly off the aorta.
In the context of stroke, “stenosis” is usually caused by atherosclerosis, a condition where a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is narrowed due to fatty deposits, known as plaques, on the vessel's inside wall. Risk factors for this type of stenosis include high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
The carotid artery is a central artery which is similar to coronary arteries in anatomical properties and vasomotor control.
Atheromas are raised lesions that protrude into the vessel lumen and contain a soft, yellow, grumous (thick and lumpy) core consisting mainly of cholesterol and cholesterol esters, covered by a white, fibrous cap.
ICD-10 code I70 for Atherosclerosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10 code R09. 89 for Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Carotid artery disease is also called carotid artery stenosis. The term refers to the narrowing of the carotid arteries. This narrowing is usually caused by the buildup of fatty substances and cholesterol deposits, called plaque. Carotid artery occlusion refers to complete blockage of the artery.
peripheral arterial disease. These arteries are in your arms, legs and pelvis. When they are blocked, you can suffer from numbness, pain and sometimes infections. atherosclerosis usually doesn't cause symptoms until it severely narrows or totally blocks an artery.
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I70) and the excluded code together.
