Stenosis of peripheral vascular stent
What are the causes of iliac artery aneurysm?
With this update, as long as bilateral carotid artery disease is documented with occlusion and stenosis, code I65. 23 (Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries) should be used.
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 carotid arteries are a pair of blood vessels located on both sides of your neck that deliver blood to your brain and head.
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.
When an artery inside the skull becomes blocked by plaque or disease, it is called cerebral artery stenosis. Arteries anywhere in the body can become blocked. For example, carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large artery in the neck, the carotid, that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain.
Stenosis, which means narrowing, can cause pressure on your spinal cord or the nerves that go from your spinal cord to your muscles.
A carotid duplex ultrasound is performed to evaluate symptoms including dizziness, loss of memory, stroke, loss of musclecontrol and other symptoms that might result from narrowing or blockage of the vessels (carotid arteries) on either side of your neck. A carotid ultrasound can also be used to screen for stroke risk.
bilaterally symmetrical vessels are internal carotid artery and the renal vein.
Bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion (BICAO) is a rare disease leading to serious cerebrovascular disease and complications including recurrent ischemic stroke or death. There are very few cases reported on BICAO, especially among young adults.
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.
Importance in cardiovascular diseases: The LAD artery is the most commonly occluded of the coronary arteries. It provides the major blood supply to the interventricular septum, and thus bundle branches of the conducting system.
"Mild" narrowing ranges from 15% to 49% blockage of the artery. Over time, this narrowing can progress and lead to a stroke. Even if it doesn't progress, mild narrowing is a sign of early blood vessel disease and calls for preventive measures.
Carotid stenosis is a narrowing or constriction of the inner surface (lumen) of the carotid artery, usually caused by atherosclerosis.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I65.23 and a single ICD9 code, 433.10 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
