ICD-9-CM indicates International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
Ellipses (…) indicate data not available.
These data do not reflect any procedures performed on an outpatient basis. Many more procedures are being performed on an outpatient basis. Some of the lower numbers in this table compared with 2006 probably reflect this trend.
Breakdowns are not available for some procedures, so entries for some categories do not add to totals. These data include codes for which the estimated number of procedures is <5000. Categories of such small numbers are considered unreliable by NCHS and in some cases may have been omitted.
Estimate should be used with caution because it may be unreliable or does not meet standards of reliability or precision.
Because ≥1 procedure codes are required to describe the specific bypass procedure performed, it is impossible from these (mixed) data to determine the average number of grafts per patient.
Totals include procedures not shown here.
This estimate includes angioplasty and stent insertions for noncoronary arteries.
Data derived from the National Hospital Discharge Survey/National Center for Health Statistics, 2007. Estimates are based on a sample of inpatient records from short-stay hospitals in the United States.
