About 065F3ZZ

065F3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right external iliac vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of vessels, abdominal veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.67).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 065F0ZZ (open) and 065F4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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”.
