About 04Q03ZZ
04Q03ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the abdominal aorta using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.31).
For a different body part, codes include 04Q13ZZ (celiac artery), 04Q23ZZ (gastric artery), 04Q33ZZ (hepatic artery), 04Q43ZZ (splenic artery), 04Q53ZZ (superior mesenteric artery), 04Q63ZZ (right colic artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04Q00ZZ (open) and 04Q04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
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), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
