About 06CF0ZZ

06CF0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right external iliac 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), 06C10ZZ (splenic vein), 06C20ZZ (gastric vein), 06C30ZZ (esophageal vein), 06C40ZZ (hepatic vein), 06C50ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06CF3ZZ (percutaneous) and 06CF4ZZ (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”.

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