A single bypass graft was performed with an arterial conduit (left anterior descending) and reported with code 33533. The saphenous vein was harvested using endoscopic guidance (33508). The saphenous vein was used to graft as single coronary artery (right coronary artery), reported with code 33517.
Like all organs in the body, the heart needs a constant supply of blood. This is supplied by 2 large blood vessels called the left and right coronary arteries. Over time, these arteries can become narrowed and hardened by the build-up of fatty deposits called plaques. This process is known as atherosclerosis.

Triple bypass surgery, a type of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is an open-heart procedure that is done to treat three blocked or partially blocked coronary arteries in the heart. Each of the operative vessels is individually bypassed so it can deliver blood to the heart muscle.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are considered revascularization procedures, but only CABG can prolong life in stable coronary artery disease. Thus, PCI and CABG mechanisms may differ.
10 for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10-CM still includes codes for patients who have undergone a CABG and have CAD. Those codes will identify whether the CAD affects a graft or a transplanted heart. The physician must document the type of graft, whether it is venous or arterial.
Atherosclerosis thickening or hardening of the arteries. It is caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Plaque is made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin.

Provider's guide to diagnose and code PAD Peripheral Artery Disease (ICD-10 code I73. 9) is estimated to affect 12 to 20% of Americans age 65 and older with as many as 75% of that group being asymptomatic (Rogers et al, 2011).
