About 03SQ3ZZ

03SQ3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the left vertebral artery using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of vessel, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.59).

For a different body part, codes include 03S03ZZ (right internal mammary artery), 03S13ZZ (left internal mammary artery), 03S23ZZ (innominate artery), 03S33ZZ (right subclavian artery), 03S43ZZ (left subclavian artery), 03S53ZZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03SQ0ZZ (open) and 03SQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 037 (Extracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 038 (Extracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 039 (Extracranial Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Extracranial Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R.
