About 04PY37Z

04PY37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the lower artery using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of vessel, unspecified site, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.00).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04PY07Z (open) and 04PY47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 04PY30Z (drainage device), 04PY32Z (monitoring device), 04PY33Z (infusion device), 04PY3CZ (extraluminal device), 04PY3DZ (intraluminal device), 04PY3JZ (synthetic substitute) 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.
