The Ischemia Trial provides proof that if you have stable CAD, there is no urgency for an intervention. After undergoing an coronary angiogram, you can request for the the procedure to be stopped before a stent is implanted, in order to give you time to get a second, or even third opinion. You should be absolutely sure that the stent is necessary.

Code I25* is the diagnosis code used for Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease, also known as Coronary artery disease (CAD). It is a is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death.
A coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to widen blocked or narrowed coronary arteries (the main blood vessels supplying the heart). The term "angioplasty" means using a balloon to stretch open a narrowed or blocked artery.

Note: The CPT codes 37236, 37237, 37238, and 37239 are used to report stenting of multiple anatomically defined arteries or veins.
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.
A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that keeps the artery open. Angioplasty and stent placement are two ways to open blocked peripheral arteries. A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery to help keep the artery open.
Example: A patient is diagnosed with CAD and Angina with no previous history of a CABG. The correct code is I25. 19 (ASHD of Native Coronary Artery with other forms of Angina Pectoris).
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the United States. It is sometimes called coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease. For some people, the first sign of CAD is a heart attack. You and your health care team may be able to help reduce your risk for CAD.
I25. 810 - Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris | ICD-10-CM.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the blockage of coronary arteries due to cholesterol and fatty deposits called plaques. This is a chronic disease which can lasts for years or be lifelong. Heart attack occurs if the coronary artery is completely blocked.
Symptoms includes chest pain or angina and shortness of breath. Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and family history of heart disease are risk factors for CAD.
Remember to confirm if the CAD is in native artery (artery with which the person is born) or bypass graft (graft inserted during CABG procedure) Angina should be combined and coded with CAD unless there is documentation that the angina is due to some other reason.
Angina should be combined and coded with CAD unless there is documentation that the angina is due to some other reason. See for excludes 1 note when coding CAD and angina. See for ‘code first’ note with I25.82 and I25.83. I25.10 – CAD. This is the common code used for unspecified CAD of native artery without angina.
