Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery, is a surgical procedure to restore normal blood flow to an obstructed coronary artery. A normal coronary artery transports blood to and from the heart mu…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops when the arteries that supply the blood to the heart muscles become hardened and narrowed due to a buildup of cholesterol and other materials, such as plaque, on their inner wall. It's also called atherosclerosis.
Another difference between coding for atherosclerosis in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM is the addition of combination codes in ICD-10-CM, McCall says. When it comes to CAD or arteriosclerosis, coders often have to use two categories of codes to fully describe a patient with CAD and also angina (e.g., 411.1) in ICD-9-CM.
If the patient does not have angina pectoris, coders will report I25.10 (atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris).
Coders want to know which type of vessel is affected by the atherosclerosis, but CDI specialists may not query for it because it's not going to affect reimbursement or quality metrics , Ericson says.
In ICD-10-CM, the default isn't necessarily the same, McCall says. In ICD-10-CM, the default is to a native vessel (I25.10) because even if a patient had a bypass, he or she still has atherosclerosis of the native vessel.
In addition, CAD weakens the heart muscles, thereby contributing to heart failure and different arrhythmias. The thing that's tricky from a CDI perspective is that CAD is not something that typically needs to be treated in the inpatient setting, Ericson says.
ICD-10-CM still includes codes for patients who have undergone a CABG and have CAD. Those codes will identify whether the CAD affects a graft or a transplanted heart.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the blockage of coronary arteries due to cholesterol and fatty deposits called plaques. This is a chronic disease which can lasts for years or be lifelong. Heart attack occurs if the coronary artery is completely blocked.
Symptoms includes chest pain or angina and shortness of breath. Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and family history of heart disease are risk factors for CAD.
Remember to confirm if the CAD is in native artery (artery with which the person is born) or bypass graft (graft inserted during CABG procedure) Angina should be combined and coded with CAD unless there is documentation that the angina is due to some other reason.
Angina should be combined and coded with CAD unless there is documentation that the angina is due to some other reason. See for excludes 1 note when coding CAD and angina. See for ‘code first’ note with I25.82 and I25.83. I25.10 – CAD. This is the common code used for unspecified CAD of native artery without angina.
