About 04LB3CZ

04LB3CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the inferior mesenteric artery using a percutaneous 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, abdominal arteries, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.86).

For a different body part, codes include 04L03CZ (abdominal aorta), 04L13CZ (celiac artery), 04L23CZ (gastric artery), 04L33CZ (hepatic artery), 04L43CZ (splenic artery), 04L53CZ (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04LB0CZ (open) and 04LB4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 04LB3DZ (intraluminal device) and 04LB3ZZ (no device).

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), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
