About 05CS3ZZ

05CS3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left vertebral 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 05CS0ZZ (open) and 05CS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 3 more.

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