05LS0ZZOcclusion of Left Vertebral Vein, Open Approach

05LS0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left vertebral vein using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, other vessels of head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.82).

For a different body part, codes include 05L00ZZ (azygos vein), 05L10ZZ (hemiazygos vein), 05L30ZZ (right innominate vein), 05L40ZZ (left innominate vein), 05L50ZZ (right subclavian vein), 05L60ZZ (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05LS3ZZ (percutaneous) and 05LS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 05LS0CZ (extraluminal device) and 05LS0DZ (intraluminal device).

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 2 more.

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