As far as diagnosis codes, I would code the saphanous vein graft occlusion as first (ICD9--414.02) (for ICD-10, I25.810 [if no angina pectoris]). HTH. Thanks so much.
All angiography codes will come from the “Imaging” section of ICD-10-PCS, but the correct code table will vary based on the value of the Body System character. In the imaging section of PCS the 3 rd character is “Type” not “Root Operation”. The character values for “Type” include:
In the imaging section of PCS, unlike arteries, the vein body parts are not divided into tables for upper and lower sites. ICD-10-PCS has character values for 3 types of contrast and a 4th character value of “None” for procedures performed without contrast.
One challenging coding area with the ICD-10 transition is the coding of venous and arterial lines and catheters. This article aims to provide greater clarity with regard to procedure coding tips for coding of venous catheters.

Fusion-Root Operation G Fusion is defined as joining together portions of an articular body part, rendering the articular body part immobile. The body part is joined together by fixation device, bone graft, or other means.

Code 93453 includes all left heart catheterization components, including the function of the mitral valves, aortic valves, and aortic valve regurgitation. For right and left heart catheterization with coronary angiography, refer to 93460. For bypass graft angiography, use 93461 (description follows).
The codes describing a right heart catheterization (e.g., 93451) are used only for medically necessary diagnostic procedures. Do not report code 93503 in conjunction with other diagnostic cardiac catheterization codes.

The 31 root operations are arranged into the following groupings:Root operations that take out some/all of a body part.Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part.Root operations involving cutting or separation only.Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part.More items...
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
Root operations that take out some or all of a body part include Excision, Resection, Detachment, Destruction, and Extraction. Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gases from a body part include Drainage, Extirpation, and Fragmentation.
The 6 th and 7 th character of a PCS angiography code are qualifiers which allow additional explanatory information to be communicated by the code. Some qualifiers and their values are specific to certain imaging “types”. For example, the value of “0” indicates a qualifier of “Unenhanced and Enhanced” for the CT and MRI imaging types but indicates “intraoperative” for the fluoroscopy imaging type. This means qualifier values are not necessarily interchangeable, so the PCS table should always be consulted to determine the correct value to assign.
Diagnostic angiogram is often performed immediately preceding a therapeutic procedure such an angioplasty or thrombectomy and when looking for disease in the heart, angiography is often accompanied by a diagnostic heart cath.
Fluoroscopy is the most common type of imaging for angiography.
Angiograms are performed primarily to diagnose vascular disease throughout the body. It’s common to see the diagnoses in the list below as the pre/post-operative diagnosis for angiography procedures. Pain in chest/angina. Coronary artery/heart disease (CAD) (CHD) Arterio/atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) Ischemic heart disease (IHD) ...
Images are obtained by is inserting a catheter into the vascular system through a puncture in an artery or vein and injecting contrast through the catheter so the vessel can be visualized. Common sites of vascular puncture are the femoral, radial, ulnar and brachial arteries.
Angiography is a radiological procedure that uses fluoroscopy, x-ray, CT or MRI to image arteries and veins in relation to vascular obstructions such as atherosclerosis , embolism or thrombus or vascular anomalies.
Pedicled grafts are not classified as devices in ICD-10-PCS because they remain attached to their original blood supply. For this reason, pedicled grafts are coded using the second row of the 021 table, which only has one device option, No Device.
The most common type of free graft comes from the saphenous vein from the patient’s leg. Pedicled grafts may also be used, where an artery is detached from its distal point and rerouted to the coronary arteries. This is most commonly achieved using the internal mammary arteries.
Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy. An incision on the costal margin in the midclavicular line on the right side was made, and a pocket was formed. A port was then inserted within the pocket and secured with stitches.
Question: The patient has a malfunctioning right internal jugular tunneled catheter. At surgery, the old catheter was removed and a new one placed. Under ultrasound guidance, the jugular was cannulated; the cuff of the old catheter was dissected out; and the entire catheter removed.
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.
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:
