Coronary heart disease (CHD) is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits (atheroma) on the walls of the arteries around the heart (coronary arteries). The build-up of atheroma makes the arteries narrower, restricting the flow of blood to the heart muscle. This process is called atherosclerosis.
Obstructive coronary artery disease is the gradual narrowing or closing of arteries that supply the heart with blood. This blockage is usually caused by a build-up of plaque (atherosclerosis), and can begin as early as your teens, slowly worsening in some people and more quickly in others.
ICD-10 code I25. 82 for Chronic total occlusion of coronary artery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 429.2. Code I25* is the diagnosis code used for Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease, also known as Coronary artery disease (CAD).
Complete or partial obstruction of a coronary vessel by thrombosis or as a result of spasm. Synonym: cardiac thrombosis; coronary thrombosis.
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is a complete or nearly complete blockage of one or more coronary arteries. The blockage, typically present for at least three months, is caused by a buildup of plaque within a coronary artery. When this happens, blood flow to the heart is compromised.
Subtotal occlusion was defined as severe stenosis of more than 99%, but with some tenuous anterograde blood flow. The collateral circulation vessels were defined as a direct communication between two ends of an occlusion via small collateral vessels.
ICD-10-CM Coding for ACS and Other Ischemic Diseases The diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is classified to code I24. 9, Acute ischemic heart disease, in ICD-10-CM.
Coronary atherosclerosis due to lipid rich plaque I25. 83 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 I25. 83 became effective on October 1, 2021.

I25. 119 - Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unspecified angina pectoris | ICD-10-CM.
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.
