About 05CD3ZZ

05CD3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right cephalic vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other endovascular procedures on other vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.79).

For a different body part, codes include 05C03ZZ (azygos vein), 05C13ZZ (hemiazygos vein), 05C33ZZ (right innominate vein), 05C43ZZ (left innominate vein), 05C53ZZ (right subclavian vein), 05C63ZZ (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05CD0ZZ (open) and 05CD4ZZ (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.
