About 03PY3KZ

03PY3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the upper artery using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of vessel, upper limb vessels and removal of arteriovenous shunt for renal dialysis, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (38.03 and 39.43).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03PY0KZ (open) and 03PY4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 03PY30Z (drainage device), 03PY32Z (monitoring device), 03PY33Z (infusion device), 03PY37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 03PY3CZ (extraluminal device), 03PY3DZ (intraluminal device) and 3 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), DRG 674 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CC), DRG 675 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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