[bi-fur-ka´shun] 1. a division into two branches, such as a blood vessel, or a tooth that has two roots. Bifurcatio aortae (aortic bifurcation), showing the branching of the abdominal aorta into the common iliac arteries, and from there to the internal and external iliac arteries.
Z98.61ICD-10 code Z98. 61 for Coronary angioplasty status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
CAD: Bifurcation Blockage. A bifurcation blockage is a narrowing at or near one of the smaller branches of a major coronary artery. It's a type of coronary artery disease. Plaque deposits build up, making the artery too narrow for sufficient blood flow to your heart. This is atherosclerosis.
B3. 6c If multiple coronary arteries are bypassed, a separate procedure is coded for each coronary artery that uses a different device and/or qualifier.

Bifurcation is the splitting of a case into two separate trials. Generally, a civil lawsuit can be naturally divided into two major issues for a trier of fact, such as a judge or a jury, to decide: liability and damages. In a bifurcated case, the issues of liability and damages are decided separately.
A bifurcation lesion is a coronary artery narrowing occurring adjacent to, and/or involving, the origin of a significant side branch that you do not want to lose. The very simple Medina classification is intended for exchange and clinical research purposes.
Anatomical Parts The carotid bifurcation is the point where the common carotid artery divides into internal and external carotid arteries. This point is located in the carotid triangle, at the level of the fourth cervical vertebra or laryngeal prominence.
CPT® Code 33533 - Arterial Grafting for Coronary Artery Bypass - Codify by AAPC.
6a Bypass procedures are coded by identifying the body part bypassed “from” and the body part bypassed “to.” The fourth character body part specifies the body part bypassed from, and the qualifier specifies the body part bypassed to.
--In reference to the example of the comprehensive code 35142 and component code 35355, authors of the CPT manual, by way of a parenthetical note, instruct the coder that “Procedures 35001 - 35162 include preparation for anastomosis including endarterectomy.” Therefore, procedure code 35355 is bundled into code 35142 ...
The aortic bifurcation is the point at which the abdominal aorta bifurcates (forks) into the left and right common iliac arteries. The aortic bifurcation is usually seen at the level of L4, just above the junction of the left and right common iliac veins.
L4 levelThe abdominal aorta bifurcates at the L4 level. The small median or middle sacral artery arises from the posterior surface of the abdominal aorta close to the bifurcation and descends vertically along the pelvic surface of the sacrum.
Bifurcations are the areas where veins branch off and these can be seen by simply shining the device on the skin.
The common carotid artery bifurcation is most commonly located between the C3-4 and C4-5 levels, but it may be at any cervical level7).
