About 06C10ZZ

06C10ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the splenic vein using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of vessel, abdominal veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.07).

For a different body part, codes include 06C00ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06C20ZZ (gastric vein), 06C30ZZ (esophageal vein), 06C40ZZ (hepatic vein), 06C50ZZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06C60ZZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06C13ZZ (percutaneous) and 06C14ZZ (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”.
