About 02C34Z6

02C34Z6 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the coronary artery, four or more arteries using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 and other removal of coronary artery obstruction, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.43, 00.44 and 36.09).

For a different body part, codes include 02C04Z6 (coronary artery, one artery), 02C14Z6 (coronary artery, two arteries) and 02C24Z6 (coronary artery, three arteries).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02C30Z6 (open) and 02C33Z6 (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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.
