About 041H4KC
041H4KC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right external iliac artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute (qualifier: bilateral internal iliac arteries). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other intra-abdominal vascular shunt or bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.26).
For a different body part, codes include 04104KC (abdominal aorta), 041C4KC (right common iliac artery), 041D4KC (left common iliac artery), 041E4KC (right internal iliac artery), 041F4KC (left internal iliac artery) and 041J4KC (left external iliac artery).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 041H0KC (open).
With a different device, use 041H49C (autologous venous tissue), 041H4AC (autologous arterial tissue), 041H4JC (synthetic substitute) and 041H4ZC (no 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) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
