About 03LY3ZZ

03LY3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the upper 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, unspecified site, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.80).

For a different body part, codes include 03L03ZZ (right internal mammary artery), 03L13ZZ (left internal mammary artery), 03L23ZZ (innominate artery), 03L33ZZ (right subclavian artery), 03L43ZZ (left subclavian artery), 03L53ZZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03LY0ZZ (open) and 03LY4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 03LY3CZ (extraluminal device) and 03LY3DZ (intraluminal 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 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 Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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