About 05BA3ZZ

05BA3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left brachial vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of vessels, upper limb vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.63).

For a different body part, codes include 05B03ZZ (azygos vein), 05B13ZZ (hemiazygos vein), 05B33ZZ (right innominate vein), 05B43ZZ (left innominate vein), 05B53ZZ (right subclavian vein), 05B63ZZ (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05BA0ZZ (open) and 05BA4ZZ (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 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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