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. Once diagnosed the goal is to prevent further progression and stroke.
The narrowing usually results from atherosclerosis, or a build-up of plaque on the inside of the arteries. Over time, stenosis can advance to complete blockage of the artery. Risk factors for carotid artery stenosis include age, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and an inactive lifestyle.
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.Aug 6, 2021

They supply your brain and head with blood. If you have carotid artery disease, the arteries become narrow or blocked, usually because of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque, which is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood.
I65.23 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries. The code I65.23 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code I65.23 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like atherosclerosis of left carotid artery, atherosclerosis of right carotid artery, bilateral atherosclerosis of carotid arteries, bilateral carotid artery occlusion, bilateral stenosis of carotid arteries , carotid artery occlusion, etc.
Another sign is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), a "mini-stroke.". A TIA is like a stroke, but it only lasts a few minutes, and the symptoms usually go away within an hour. Stroke is another sign. Imaging tests can confirm whether you have carotid artery disease.
Too much plaque in the artery can cause a blockage. You can also have a blockage when a piece of plaque or a blood clot breaks off the wall of an artery. The plaque or clot can travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in one of your brain's smaller arteries. Carotid artery disease often does not cause symptoms until ...
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I65.23 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
