What is Occlusion and stenosis of unspecified carotid artery?

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.

What is the ICD

ICD-10 Code for Chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities- I70. 92- Codify by AAPC.

What causes Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries?

The narrowing usually results from atherosclerosis, or a build-up of plaque on the inside of the arteries. Over time, stenosis can advance to complete blockage of the artery. Risk factors for carotid artery stenosis include age, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and an inactive lifestyle.

What is stenosis of the carotid artery?

Carotid artery disease results from a blockage or narrowing of the carotid arteries. This narrowing is also called carotid artery stenosis. The carotid arteries are major blood vessels that provide your brain's blood supply.
