About 049530Z
049530Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the superior mesenteric artery using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other puncture of artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.98).
For a different body part, codes include 049030Z (abdominal aorta), 049130Z (celiac artery), 049230Z (gastric artery), 049330Z (hepatic artery), 049430Z (splenic artery), 049630Z (right colic artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 049500Z (open) and 049540Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 04953ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
