About 03L03ZZ
03L03ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right internal mammary artery using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, thoracic vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.85).
For a different body part, codes include 03L13ZZ (left internal mammary artery), 03L23ZZ (innominate artery), 03L33ZZ (right subclavian artery), 03L43ZZ (left subclavian artery), 03L53ZZ (right axillary artery), 03L63ZZ (left axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03L00ZZ (open) and 03L04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 03L03CZ (extraluminal device) and 03L03DZ (intraluminal device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
