Wiki 414.0?

Hello Fellow Coding Gurus,

So we are debating on the correct code for the following documentation:

CAD (coronary artery disease) of artery bypass graft

CABG was in 2003. No stents in over 1 year. Will hold Plavix and aspirin so patient can have port placed

My thought was 414.04 because artery bypass graft is specified. However, there is a CABG - but was this for the initial CAD or the CAD of artery bypass graft?

Thank you for your help!
