About 049700Z
049700Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left colic artery using an open 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 049000Z (abdominal aorta), 049100Z (celiac artery), 049200Z (gastric artery), 049300Z (hepatic artery), 049400Z (splenic artery), 049500Z (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 049730Z (percutaneous) and 049740Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 04970ZZ (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.
