About 04140AR
04140AR is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the splenic artery using an open approach with autologous arterial tissue (qualifier: lower artery). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
For a different body part, codes include 04100AR (abdominal aorta), 04130AR (hepatic artery), 041C0AR (right common iliac artery) and 041D0AR (left common iliac artery).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04144AR (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 041409R (autologous venous tissue), 04140JR (synthetic substitute), 04140KR (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 04140ZR (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), 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 was added in FY2025, effective October 1, 2024.
