About 03LC3CZ

03LC3CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left radial artery using a percutaneous approach with extraluminal device. 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, upper limb vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.83).

For a different body part, codes include 03L03CZ (right internal mammary artery), 03L13CZ (left internal mammary artery), 03L23CZ (innominate artery), 03L33CZ (right subclavian artery), 03L43CZ (left subclavian artery), 03L53CZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03LC0CZ (open) and 03LC4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 03LC3DZ (intraluminal device) and 03LC3ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/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) and DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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