The Ischemia Trial provides proof that if you have stable CAD, there is no urgency for an intervention. After undergoing an coronary angiogram, you can request for the the procedure to be stopped before a stent is implanted, in order to give you time to get a second, or even third opinion. You should be absolutely sure that the stent is necessary.

ICD-10 code: I25. 13 Atherosclerotic heart disease: Triple-vessel coronary artery disease.
ICD-10 code I25. 119 for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unspecified angina pectoris is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
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.
Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD) and atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD), is caused by a thickening of the walls of the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.
ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris I25. 810.
I25. 810 - Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris | ICD-10-CM.
Stents. Coronary stents are now used in nearly all angioplasty procedures. A stent is a tiny, expandable metal mesh coil. It is put into the newly opened area of the artery to help keep the artery from narrowing or closing again. Once the stent has been placed, tissue will start to coat the stent like a layer of skin.
I25. 10 - Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris | ICD-10-CM.
Example: A patient is diagnosed with CAD and Angina with no previous history of a CABG. The correct code is I25. 19 (ASHD of Native Coronary Artery with other forms of Angina Pectoris).
There were a lot of changes to ICD-10-PCS for FY2017 involving the cardiovascular system. The biggest change was how coronary arteries are coded. With the implementation of ICD-10-PCS, these were classified by the number of distinct “sites” treated and not the number of coronary arteries treated (by distinct name). This was a big change for coders as these cases were coded to the number of coronary arteries treated in ICD-9-CM. The descriptor “sites” was removed for FY2017. The new guideline applies to the number of coronary arteries treated and not the number of sites treated. This is going back to the way coronary artery procedures were coded in ICD-9-CM.
Angioplasty of two distinct coronary arteries, one with stent placed and one without, is coded separately as Dilation of Coronary Artery, One Artery with Intraluminal Device, and Dilation of Coronary Artery, One Artery with no device.
