About 03170ZD

03170ZD is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right brachial artery using an open approach (qualifier: upper arm vein). 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 other (peripheral) vascular shunt or bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.29).

For a different body part, codes include 03120ZD (innominate artery), 03130ZD (right subclavian artery), 03140ZD (left subclavian artery), 03150ZD (right axillary artery), 03160ZD (left axillary artery) and 03180ZD (left brachial artery).

With a different device, use 031709D (autologous venous tissue), 03170AD (autologous arterial tissue), 03170JD (synthetic substitute) and 03170KD (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
