Left carotid artery stenosis Thrombosis of left internal carotid artery ICD-10-CM I65.22 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 061 Ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent with mcc
Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing in the large arteries located on each side of the neck. These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. The narrowing usually results from atherosclerosis, or a build-up of plaque on the inside of the arteries.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code I65.2 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of I65.2 that describes the diagnosis 'occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery' in more detail.
Supraclinoid Segment Internal Carotid Artery Begins after penetration of dura, continues until bifurcation into Anterior and Middle Cerebral Arteries Three Branches: Ophthalmic Artery, Posterior Communicating Artery, and Anterior Choroidal Artery.
ICD-10 code I65. 22 for Occlusion and stenosis of left carotid artery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .

Carotid artery stenosis is a condition that happens when your carotid artery, the large artery on either side of your neck, becomes blocked. The blockage is made up of a substance called plaque (fatty cholesterol deposits).
Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large arteries on either side of the neck. These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. This narrowing is usually the result of a build-up of plaque within the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I25. 84 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The carotid arteries are the primary vessels supplying blood to the brain and face. The right common carotid artery (RCCA) originates in the neck from the brachiocephalic artery The left common carotid artery (LCCA) arises in the thorax from the arch of the aorta.
Carotid artery disease is also called carotid artery stenosis. The term refers to the narrowing of the carotid arteries. This narrowing is usually caused by the buildup of fatty substances and cholesterol deposits, called plaque. Carotid artery occlusion refers to complete blockage of the artery.
Narrowing of the carotid arteries less than 50% is considered part of normal aging. Narrowing of the carotid arteries between 50-70% carries a low risk of stroke and should be monitored. Narrowing of the carotid arteries more than 70% carries a 2-4% risk of stroke per year (10-20% over five years).
Significant Stenosis Defined as. 75% or Greater Narrowing. The distribution of patients with no, one-, two- and. three-vessel and LMCA disease when significant.
In the context of stroke, “stenosis” is usually caused by atherosclerosis, a condition where a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is narrowed due to fatty deposits, known as plaques, on the vessel's inside wall. Risk factors for this type of stenosis include high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
neckThe internal carotid artery runs upward through the neck and enters the skull through the carotid canal, located in the petrous portion of the temporal bone just superior to the jugular fossa.
Three Branches: Ophthalmic Artery, Posterior Communicating Artery, and Anterior Choroidal Artery.
