About 03180AV

03180AV is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the left brachial artery using an open approach with autologous arterial tissue (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 03150AV (right axillary artery), 03160AV (left axillary artery) and 03170AV (right brachial artery).

With a different device, use 031809V (autologous venous tissue), 03180JV (synthetic substitute), 03180KV (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 03180ZV (no device).

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 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures” and 2 more.

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