About 03VC3ZZ
03VC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the left radial artery using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other endovascular procedures on other vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.79).
For a different body part, codes include 03V03ZZ (right internal mammary artery), 03V13ZZ (left internal mammary artery), 03V23ZZ (innominate artery), 03V33ZZ (right subclavian artery), 03V43ZZ (left subclavian artery), 03V53ZZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03VC0ZZ (open) and 03VC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 03VC3CZ (extraluminal device) and 03VC3DZ (intraluminal device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular 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 Major Cardiovascular Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
