About 03L40CZ

03L40CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left subclavian artery using an open approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03L43CZ (percutaneous) and 03L44CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 03L40DZ (intraluminal device) and 03L40ZZ (no device).
