About 03VC0CZ
03VC0CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the left radial artery using an open approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Clipping of aneurysm, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.51).
For a different body part, codes include 03V00CZ (right internal mammary artery), 03V10CZ (left internal mammary artery), 03V20CZ (innominate artery), 03V30CZ (right subclavian artery), 03V40CZ (left subclavian artery), 03V50CZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03VC3CZ (percutaneous) and 03VC4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 03VC0DZ (intraluminal device) and 03VC0ZZ (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) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
