Can anyone offer assistance with the procedure? I have never had to code this before and the surgeon did not have any suggestions either. It may be unlisted but if anyone has any thoughts they would be much appreciated.

DX-Unstable Angina associated with long intramyocardial bridge of the LAD

Thank you

Code should be "411.1"

As per Medical dictonary actual defination of Intramyocardial bridge is Intramural coronary artery Surgical anatomy A band of myocardium that encases a segment of a large coronary artery–most often the left anterior descending branch; if the IB is compressed–as may occur in strenuous physical exertion, perfusion of a large region of myocardium may be compromised and cause sudden death due to V fib. So this should be the surgical history of patient.
It helps you.
