Note: As of October 1, 1994, coronary artery bypass graft occlusions due to atherosclerosis are coded to 414.02 or 414.03.
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is a complete or nearly complete blockage of one or more coronary arteries. The blockage, typically present for at least three months, is caused by a buildup of plaque within a coronary artery. When this happens, blood flow to the heart is compromised.

CTO PCI is the use of small wires fed into the vessels through a catheter to break through the blockage and open up the vessel. An alternative to heart bypass surgery, the procedure is done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory through small incisions in the leg or arm.
Chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO) occurs when a buildup of plaque blocks the coronary artery for more than 90 days, starving your heart of oxygen. Left untreated, CTO can cause chest pain, unusual fatigue, and lifestyle restrictions.
Complete or partial obstruction of a coronary vessel by thrombosis or as a result of spasm. Synonym: cardiac thrombosis; coronary thrombosis.
An occlusion is a complete or partial blockage of a blood vessel. While occlusions can happen in both veins and arteries, the more serious ones occur in the arteries. An occlusion can reduce or even stop the flow of oxygen-rich blood to downstream vital tissues like the heart, brain, or extremities.
A blockage in an artery or vein is called an occlusion or stroke. When the flow of blood from the retina is blocked, it is often because a blot clot is blocking the retinal vein. This condition is called retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Occlusion is defined as the way the teeth meet when the lower jaw (mandible) and upper jaw (maxilla) come together. It is how the teeth contact in any type of functional relationship.
Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death. It is within the group of cardiovascular diseases of which it is the most common type. A common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel ...
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
Causes and complications of chronic coronary total occlusion. Atherosclerosis, also known as hardening of the arteries, causes CTO. Healthy arteries are flexible and smooth and allow blood to flow freely through them. In atherosclerosis, fatty deposits and calcium can build up along the inner artery walls and form plaque.
The heart is a muscle, and — like any other muscle — it needs oxygen-rich blood. Chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO) occurs when a buildup of plaque blocks the coronary artery for more than 90 days, starving your heart of oxygen. Left untreated, CTO can cause chest pain, unusual fatigue, and lifestyle restrictions.
Chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO) treatment aims to restore blood flow through the blocked or occluded artery to the heart.
Over time, the buildup of plaque causes the arteries to narrow. This limits the amount of oxygen-rich blood that flows to the heart. With CTO, the artery blockage is usually gradual. Because it happens over time, the body often adapts by creating small blood vessels that circumvent the blockage.
During the early stages of chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO), there may be no symptoms at all. Your doctor at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute will use cardiac catheterization and angiography to diagnose CTO. Inserts a catheter into a blood vessel in your leg or wrist. Advances the catheter to your heart.
A percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) procedure may be the appropriate treatment option for patients who have poor blood flow through one or more coronary arteries.
A complete blockage in a coronary artery is called a total coronary occlusion , or if it more than three months old, a chronic total occlusion.
In addition, at a very few centers in the United States, including the Cleveland Clinic, physicians use the "retrograde" approach, in which total coronary blockages are accessed from collateral blood vessels. Collateral blood vessels are new blood ...
The CPT® code set also includes 92941 for PCI of total or subtotal occlusion during acute myocardial infarction and 92943/+92944 for PCI of chronic total occlusion.
You can remove at least one layer of PCI coding confusion by reviewing these FAQs with answers from CPT® guidelines and the National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services (NCCI manual). For even more clarity, review the official CPT® and Medicare resources, and check your payers’ policies, too.
CPT® guidelines define PCI more technically as a type of percutaneous revascularization aimed at treating occlusive disease of the coronary vessels. Revascularization is a term for restoring adequate blood supply to a body part.
If you do report the codes, the NCCI manual echoes CPT® by stating that you may report only one PCI code “for each of up to two branches of a major coronary artery with recognized branches.” You should not report PCI of a third branch of a major coronary artery.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) coding brings to mind Winston Churchill’s line about “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” Making assumptions about what certain descriptor terms mean and which services are bundled into PCI is sure to lead to errors.
Percutaneous refers to a service taking place through the skin. In the case of PCI, the physician makes a small incision in the skin and inserts a thin guidewire and catheter into a blood vessel. The physician uses imaging to assist with threading the catheter through the vascular system to the target area.
But the guidelines also clarify that you should report both 92928 and +92929 when the physician stents both the left anterior descending artery and first diagonal artery to treat a bifurcation lesion.
