About 06BF3ZZ
06BF3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right external iliac vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06BF0ZZ (open) and 06BF4ZZ (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”.
