ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris I25. 810.
Driveline infections (DLIs) are the most common type of LVAD-associated infection (LVADI). DLIs occur frequently because the driveline exit site creates a conduit for entry of bacteria and the prosthetic material of the driveline creates an ideal environment for the formation of bacterial biofilms (1).
The driveline exit site is frequently the entry site of pathogens that may cause local infection, and these infections could track to the pocket and the pump. Therefore, driveline infections increase the risk for pump/cannula, pocket and bloodstream infections [2].
The hardware, being an inanimate object, cannot become infected. Rather, it becomes coated with bacteria and may secondarily infect its associated bone.

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. Example:
The definition for the Bypass root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is "Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part." Bypass involves rerouting the contents of a body part to a downstream area of the normal route, to a similar route and body part, or to an abnormal route and dissimilar body part. The bypass root operation includes one or more anastomosis, with or without the use of a device. The range of bypass procedures includes normal routes such as those made in coronary artery bypass procedures, and abnormal routes such as those made in colostomy formation procedures.
In ICD-9-CM the Alphabetic Index main term, Ureteroscopy, directs the coder to 56.31, ureteroscopy. Because the removal of the stone was unsuccessful no additional codes are necessary for complete coding.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term, Catheterization; subterm cardiac directs the coder to combined, left or right. This was a left heart catheterization which is coded to 37.22, left heart cardiac catheterization. The cardiac mapping must also be coded and review of the Alphabetic Index main term, Mapping; subterm cardiac directs the coder to 37.27, cardiac mapping.
