About 05VL3ZZ
05VL3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the intracranial vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular 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 05V03ZZ (azygos vein), 05V13ZZ (hemiazygos vein), 05V33ZZ (right innominate vein), 05V43ZZ (left innominate vein), 05V53ZZ (right subclavian vein), 05V63ZZ (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05VL0ZZ (open) and 05VL4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 05VL3CZ (extraluminal device) and 05VL3DZ (intraluminal device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 020 (Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage with MCC), DRG 021 (Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage with CC), DRG 022 (Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage without CC/MCC), DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC) and DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage”, “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
