About 04534ZZ
04534ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the hepatic artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of vessels, abdominal arteries, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.66).
For a different body part, codes include 04504ZZ (abdominal aorta), 04514ZZ (celiac artery), 04524ZZ (gastric artery), 04544ZZ (splenic artery), 04554ZZ (superior mesenteric artery), 04564ZZ (right colic artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04530ZZ (open) and 04533ZZ (percutaneous).
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”.
