In plain terms, this corresponds to procedure on three vessels, procedure on vessel bifurcation, insertion of two vascular stents and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.42, 00.44, 00.46 and 2 more).

For a different body part, codes include 02700E6 (coronary artery, one artery), 02710E6 (coronary artery, two arteries) and 02730E6 (coronary artery, four or more arteries).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02723E6 (percutaneous) and 02724E6 (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0272046 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting), 0272056 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, two), 0272066 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, three), 0272076 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, four or more), 02720D6 (intraluminal device), 02720F6 (intraluminal device, three) and 3 more.
