About 04L04CZ

04L04CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the abdominal aorta using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, aorta, abdominal, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.84).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04L00CZ (open) and 04L03CZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 04L04DZ (intraluminal device) and 04L04ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 268 (Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon with MCC), DRG 269 (Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon without MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R.
