About 0618479

0618479 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the portal vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: right renal vein). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to intra-abdominal venous shunt, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.1).

For a different body part, codes include 0611479 (splenic vein).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0618079 (open).

With a different device, use 0618499 (autologous venous tissue), 06184A9 (autologous arterial tissue), 06184J9 (synthetic substitute), 06184K9 (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 06184Z9 (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”.

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