The Popliteal Artery, Left body part is identified by the character N in the 4 th position of the ICD-10-PCS procedure code. It is contained within the Occlusion root operation of the Lower Arteries body system under the Medical and Surgical section.
Principal Diagnosis I70.212, includes intermittent claudication and includes stenosis by being under the term atherosclerosis, therefore more inclusive code and also specifies the left lower leg, but does not specify popliteal. Diamondback atherectomy, left popliteal stenosis; low-pressure balloon angioplasty of left popliteal stenosis.
The Principal Diagnosis description I70.212, includes intermittent claudication and includes stenosis by being under the term atherosclerosis, therefore more inclusive code and also specifies the left lower leg, but does not specify popliteal. Principal procedure: 04CN3ZZ
Root Operation L: Occlusion Occlusion is defined in the ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual as “Completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.” Just like in Restriction, the orifice can be a natural orifice or an artificially created orifice for Occlusion procedures.

ICD-10 code T82. 856 for Stenosis of peripheral vascular stent is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
1: Stricture of artery.
kneeBlood Supply and Lymphatics The popliteal artery is the primary vascular supply in the region of the knee and lower leg. The popliteal vein runs posterior to the popliteal artery and receives blood from multiple tributaries.
Popliteal artery occlusion is usually the end stage of a long-standing disease process of atheromatous plaque formation. Once formed, the atherosclerotic core is a highly thrombogenic surface that promotes platelet aggregation, which results in disturbances of blood flow.
The popliteal artery passes through the popliteal fossa and ends at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, where it branches into its two terminal branches; the anterior and posterior tibial arteries.

Peripheral artery angioplasty (say "puh-RIFF-er-rull AR-ter-ree ANN-jee-oh-plass-tee") is a procedure to help blood flow better. The procedure widens or opens narrowed blocked arteries, typically in the pelvis or legs. This may help with pain or help wounds heal better.
Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft Z95. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021.

1. Urgent coronary artery bypass grafting x 4 with placement of the left internal mammary artery (1) to the left anterior descending coronary artery and placement of reverse saphenous vein grafts from the aorta to the right coronary artery, the obtuse marginal branch of the circumflex, and the diagonal branch (3). 2.
A small anterior left thoracotomy in approximately the sixth intercostal space was used to expose and open the apex of the left ventricle to extract the thrombus. After removal of the thrombus, the patient's left ventricle showed no evidence of residual thrombus ( inspection ) Her cardiac function was satisfactory following the procedure.
Resection of Right Thyroid Gland Lobe, Open Approach. The right lobe is a subsection that is identified under the root operation Resection.
The Principal Diagnosis description I70.212, includes intermittent claudication and includes stenosis by being under the term atherosclerosis, therefore more inclusive code and also specifies the left lower leg, but does not specify popliteal.
The angioplasty may be included in the atherectomy m, as a combo code, or maybe not.

prior angiography existed prior to the study. The findings of that are as
Embolization of a cerebral aneurysm is coded to the root operation Restriction, because the objective of the procedure is not to close off the vessel entirely, but to narrow the lumen of the vessel at the site of the aneurysm where it is abnormally wide. B4.4 Coronary arteries.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetical Index main term entry is Dilation with the subterm of larynx. The code is 31.98, Other operations on larynx. This code does not provide any specification to show if the procedure was performed with or without a laryngoscope. The root operation in ICD-10-PCS is the same main entry term used to look up the ICD-9-CM procedure code, Dilation. Review the Alphabetical Index for term Dilation and subterm, Larynx. This provides the code table to reference for the complete code, which is 0C7S. The appropriate ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0C7S8ZZ. The fourth character (S) identifies that the procedure was performed on the larynx. The fifth character (8) provides the approach, which is via natural or artificial opening, endoscopic. Since no device was left in place, the sixth character (Z) indicates no device and no qualifier (Z) was assigned for the seventh character.
A fallopian tube ligation involves severing and sealing the tubes to prevent pregnancy. There are several different ways to accomplish this result, such as with sutures, clips, or rings. If the procedure is performed with electrocoagulation or cauterization, it is coded to Destruction, not Occlusion.
The root operation Dilation is coded when the objective of the procedure is to enlarge the diameter of a tubular body part or orifice. During this procedure a mechanical device was inserted into the mouth and larynx in order to dilate the stenosis.
Coding professionals should start acquainting themselves with the 31 different root operations in the medical and surgical section. An in-depth understanding of the definitions and applications of the various root operations and knowledge of the integral components of procedures will be important in making a smooth transition.
Angioplasty of two distinct sites in the left anterior descending coronary artery, one with stent placed and one without, is coded separately as Dilation of Coronary Artery, One Site with Intraluminal Device, and Dilation of Coronary Artery, One Site with no device.
