About 03150ZV

03150ZV is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right axillary artery using an open approach (qualifier: superior vena cava). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Arteriovenostomy for renal dialysis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.27).

For a different body part, codes include 03160ZV (left axillary artery), 03170ZV (right brachial artery) and 03180ZV (left brachial artery).

With a different device, use 031509V (autologous venous tissue), 03150AV (autologous arterial tissue), 03150JV (synthetic substitute) and 03150KV (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
