About 05170KY

05170KY is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right axillary vein using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute (qualifier: upper vein). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other (peripheral) vascular shunt or bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.29).

For a different body part, codes include 05100KY (azygos vein), 05110KY (hemiazygos vein), 05130KY (right innominate vein), 05140KY (left innominate vein), 05150KY (right subclavian vein), 05160KY (left subclavian vein) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05174KY (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 051707Y (autologous tissue substitute), 051709Y (autologous venous tissue), 05170AY (autologous arterial tissue), 05170JY (synthetic substitute) and 05170ZY (no device).

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.
