Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

This code indicates that a patient has a history of coronary artery disease treated with an angioplasty procedure that involved the placement of an implant, such as a stent, and/or a graft. It signifies the ongoing presence of these devices within the coronary arteries.

Use this code for patients who have undergone coronary angioplasty with stent placement or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and these devices are still present. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, medication management, or any encounter where the presence of these implants is relevant to the patient's care.

• Do not use this code for patients who had an angioplasty without an implant or graft; refer to the Excludes1 note.
• This code is a status code, indicating the presence of the device, not the procedure itself.
• Always code the underlying coronary artery disease (e.g., I25.10) in conjunction with this status code.
