About 02C33Z6

02C33Z6 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the coronary artery, four or more arteries using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: bifurcation). In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to procedure on four or more vessels, procedure on vessel bifurcation, transluminal coronary atherectomy and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.43, 00.44, 17.55 and 1 more).

For a different body part, codes include 02C03Z6 (coronary artery, one artery), 02C13Z6 (coronary artery, two arteries) and 02C23Z6 (coronary artery, three arteries).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02C30Z6 (open) and 02C34Z6 (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 231 (Coronary Bypass with PTCA with MCC), DRG 232 (Coronary Bypass with PTCA without MCC), DRG 318 (Percutaneous Coronary Atherectomy without Intraluminal Device), DRG 359 (Percutaneous Coronary Atherectomy with Intraluminal Device with MCC) and DRG 360 (Percutaneous Coronary Atherectomy with Intraluminal Device without MCC), under the surgical categories “”, “Percutaneous Coronary Atherectomy without Intraluminal Device” and “Percutaneous Coronary Atherectomy with Intraluminal Device”.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
