ICD-10 Coding Tutorial: How to Code Atherosclerosis https://www.cco.us/icd-10-cm-diagnost... Q: Atherosclerosis of the left internal mammary artery bypass graft? I see nothing specific on the mammary (artery, is what they they're talking about). How would you code this? A: I did some little bit extra research on this because I was a little confused when I went to go look at it as well, and then it dawned on me that I had to break it down and remind myself what all the parts were. Atherosclerosis is just a disease of the artery, and it just means the plaque has built up on the inner wall of that artery. Then I found this fantastic little article and I'll go through this really quickly, you can go back and read it more in-depth when you get your copy. It says: a blood vessel located in the inside chest cavity. This is the internal mammary artery (IMA); it's actually a pretty major vessel. And because it is where it's located by the sternum, it's a very good artery to use as a bypass artery. What they do when they bypass is they actually take that mammary artery and disconnect it and put it in other place to [feed] a location of the heart. I've got some pictures of that here, but they're talking about how it's such a good artery to use, so it's most often used for a specific types of bypasses they're needing to be done.
