Diagnosis Code-plaque in the thoracic aorta

[JParker5]

Hi

I'm looking for a diagnosis code for "plaque in the thoracic aorta". I looked up Arteriosclerosis but it takes me to Abdominal aorta. I did see 444.1 but that states Emoblism or thrombosis of Aorta and I don't think that's the correct code. Any help please?

I found
Arteriosclerosis, aorta 440.0
