Stenosis of peripheral vascular stent
CPT codes 37217 and 37218 describe carotid stenting in the intrathoracic common carotid and innominate arteries. CPT codes 37217 and 37218, therefore, do not appropriately describe TCAR procedures targeting lesions at the cervical level (at or near the carotid bifurcation).
The level of occlusion of your carotid arteries may have produced the stroke like symptoms you had in the past, possibly a transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, this is not likely to fully explain your present symptoms of progressive fatigue. TIA's would also not show anything on scans (MRI, CT or SPECT), unless a full blown stroke was completed.

Extirpation of Matter from Right Internal Carotid Artery using Stent Retriever, Percutaneous Approach. ICD-10-PCS 03CK3Z7 is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
ICD-10 code I65. 2 for Occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10 code Z95. 5 for Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ICD-10-CM Code for Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries I65. 23.
CPT code 93880 describes a “complete bilat- eral” study that generally involves cross sectional evaluation of the plaque for morphology and luminal compromise as well as Doppler spectral analysis with velocity measure- ments of the blood flow at several locations.
Dizziness and GiddinessCode R42 is the diagnosis code used for Dizziness and Giddiness. It is a disorder characterized by a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the patient (objective vertigo) or as if he himself were revolving in space (subjective vertigo).
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.
ICD-10 code: Z95. 5 Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft.
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.
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.
ICD-10 code: I77. 9 Disorder of arteries and arterioles, unspecified.
Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large arteries on either side of the neck. These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. This narrowing is usually the result of a build-up of plaque within the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis.
Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction. Approximate Synonyms. Atherosclerosis carotid artery, both sides. Atherosclerosis of both carotid arteries.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I65.23 became effective on October 1, 2021.
What ICD-10-CM code would you recommend for an "in stent re-stenosis" in the coronary artery? Documentation indicates that the patient had a prior stent in the LAD and now has a 99% "in stent" re-stenosis.
