About 047L44Z

047L44Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the left femoral artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with intraluminal device, drug-eluting. In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to procedure on single vessel, insertion of one vascular stent, insertion of drug-eluting stent(s) of other peripheral vessel(s) and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.40, 00.45, 00.55 and 2 more).

For a different body part, codes include 047044Z (abdominal aorta), 047144Z (celiac artery), 047244Z (gastric artery), 047344Z (hepatic artery), 047444Z (splenic artery), 047544Z (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 047L04Z (open) and 047L34Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 047L45Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, two), 047L46Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, three), 047L47Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, four or more), 047L4DZ (intraluminal device), 047L4EZ (intraluminal device, two), 047L4FZ (intraluminal device, three) and 2 more.

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.
