About 03BA3ZZ

03BA3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left ulnar artery using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03BA0ZZ (open) and 03BA4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
