Peripheral vascular angioplasty status with implants and grafts. Z95.820 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95.820 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Note: The CPT codes 37236, 37237, 37238, and 37239 are used to report stenting of multiple anatomically defined arteries or veins. Therefore, provisions of this policy apply as appropriate to the procedure performed and reported on the Medicare claim.
Angioplasty alone without placement of a stent is coded as No Device (Z). If a stent was placed, device options exist for drug-eluting stents (Intraluminal Device, Drug-eluting) and bare metal stents (Intraluminal Device) as well as the number of stents placed.
Coronary artery bypass procedures are coded differently than other bypass procedures, which is described in guideline B3.6a. Rather than identifying the body part bypassed from, the body part identifies the number of coronary artery sites bypassed to, and the qualifier specifies the vessel bypassed from. ICD-10-PCS Guideline 3.6c.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent) is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter (a thin flexible tube) to place a small structure called a stent to open up blood vessels in the heart that have been narrowed by plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
The anterior tibial artery is an artery of the leg. It carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery.
ICD-10 code I70. 92 for Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities I70. 92 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70. 92 became effective on October 1, 2021.
During the past decade, multiple technologies have been developed for treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) atherosclerotic disease, including balloon angioplasty, bare nitinol self-expanding stents, drug-eluting nitinol stents, and drug-coated balloons.
Peripheral stent implants help hold open an artery so that blood can flow through the blocked or clogged artery., The stent—a small, lattice-shaped wire mesh tube, props open the artery and remains permanently in place. The stent is passed through the catheter and implanted in the peripheral artery.
Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-o-plas-tee), also called percutaneous coronary intervention, is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart.
The 6 th and 7 th character of a PCS angiography code are qualifiers which allow additional explanatory information to be communicated by the code. Some qualifiers and their values are specific to certain imaging “types”. For example, the value of “0” indicates a qualifier of “Unenhanced and Enhanced” for the CT and MRI imaging types but indicates “intraoperative” for the fluoroscopy imaging type. This means qualifier values are not necessarily interchangeable, so the PCS table should always be consulted to determine the correct value to assign.
Angiograms are performed primarily to diagnose vascular disease throughout the body. It’s common to see the diagnoses in the list below as the pre/post-operative diagnosis for angiography procedures. Pain in chest/angina. Coronary artery/heart disease (CAD) (CHD) Arterio/atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) Ischemic heart disease (IHD) ...
Fluoroscopy is the most common type of imaging for angiography.
Diagnostic angiogram is often performed immediately preceding a therapeutic procedure such an angioplasty or thrombectomy and when looking for disease in the heart, angiography is often accompanied by a diagnostic heart cath.
Angiography is a radiological procedure that uses fluoroscopy, x-ray, CT or MRI to image arteries and veins in relation to vascular obstructions such as atherosclerosis , embolism or thrombus or vascular anomalies.
Pedicled grafts are not classified as devices in ICD-10-PCS because they remain attached to their original blood supply. For this reason, pedicled grafts are coded using the second row of the 021 table, which only has one device option, No Device.
Bypasses from the femoral artery to the popliteal artery (fem-pop) are relatively common. Arterial blood flows away from the heart, so the first body part to receive fresh blood will be the femoral artery, and the popliteal will be the second.
The arterial mission is simple: deliver oxygen-rich blood to the body’s organ and tissues. At the cellular level, oxygen is released to the tissues and carbon dioxide is absorbed and routed to the veins, which empty into the main vein, the vena cava, which returns blood to the right side of the heart.
