Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing in the large arteries located on each side of the neck. These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. The narrowing usually results from atherosclerosis, or a build-up of plaque on the inside of the arteries.
The carotid arteries are a pair of blood vessels located on both sides of your neck that deliver blood to your brain and head.

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.
Carotid duplex is an ultrasound test that shows how well blood is flowing through the carotid arteries. The carotid arteries are located in the neck. They supply blood directly to the brain.
Narrowing of the carotid arteries less than 50% is considered part of normal aging. Narrowing of the carotid arteries between 50-70% carries a low risk of stroke and should be monitored.
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.
The very commonly used CPT code for carotid Doppler is 93880 when the exam is performed on both carotid arteries. The exam is performed to find any occlusion or stenosis present in the carotid arteries of neck.

Renal artery stenosis is a decrease in blood flow through one or both of the main renal arteries or their branches. Renal artery occlusion is a complete blockage of blood flow through one or both of the main renal arteries or its branches.
Symptomatic carotid stenosis is commonly defined as stenosis in the internal carotid artery, either intracranial or extracranial, leading to symptoms of amaurosis fugax, transient ischemic attacks, or ischemic stroke ipsilateral to the lesion.
A carotid endarterectomy may be needed if one or both of your carotid arteries become narrowed because of a build-up of fatty deposits (plaque). This is known as carotid artery disease or carotid artery stenosis, and it significantly increases your risk of having a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).
Surgery is the best option for symptomatic patients with 70% to 99% blockage in the carotid artery. However, it can also be considered for patients with 50% to 69% blockage. Doctors agree that surgery is the most effective option for patients with moderate to severe carotid stenosis.
If the narrowing of the carotid arteries becomes severe enough that blood flow is blocked, it can cause a stroke. If a piece of plaque breaks off it can also block blood flow to the brain. This too can cause a stroke.
Commonly, a piece of the plaque that develops in the carotid artery breaks off and travels to the brain causing either Transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.
There are two carotid arteries, one on either side of the neck. Healthy carotid arteries transport blood and oxygen to the brain and head. If the carotid arteries are narrowed or blocked, not enough blood and oxygen pass through.
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.
Carotid artery disease often does not cause symptoms until the blockage or narrowing is severe. One sign may be a bruit (whooshing sound) that your doctor hears when listening to your artery with a stethoscope. 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.
