A coronary occlusion is the partial or complete obstruction of blood flow in a coronary artery. This condition may cause a heart attack. In some patients coronary occlusion causes only mild pain, tightness or vague discomfort which may be ignored; however, the myocardium, the muscle tissue of the heart, may be damaged.
Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70. 92 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.

Peripheral Artery Disease (ICD-10 code I73. 9) is estimated to affect 12 to 20% of Americans age 65 and older with as many as 75% of that group being asymptomatic (Rogers et al, 2011).
Complete or partial obstruction of a coronary vessel by thrombosis or as a result of spasm. Synonym: cardiac thrombosis; coronary thrombosis.
Left main occlusion is associated with a dire prognosis, as the left main supplies blood to >75 % of the left ventricle. This is a case showing a classic electrocardiogram (ECG) together with the echocardiogram videos and images from coronary angiography.
With obstructive CAD, the plaque buildup is significant (usually greater than 70%) and can narrow or block the arteries. This slows oxygenated blood flow to the heart and raises the risk of a heart attack. The plaque is still present with nonobstructive CAD. However, it does not block the arteries.
“If somebody's having chest pain it generally means that they have a plaque that is blocking more than 70 percent of the coronary artery. So we call that obstructive coronary disease.” WHEN PATIENTS HAVE SMALLER AMOUNTS OF PLAQUE, THEY ARE DIAGNOSED WITH WHAT IS KNOWN AS NON-OBSTRUCTIVE CORONARY DISEASE.
Ischaemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a common ischaemic heart disease with a female preponderance, mostly due to underlying coronary vascular dysfunction comprising coronary microvascular dysfunction and/or epicardial coronary vasospasm.
