About 06CT4ZZ

06CT4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right foot vein using a percutaneous endoscopic 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, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.09).

For a different body part, codes include 06C04ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06C14ZZ (splenic vein), 06C24ZZ (gastric vein), 06C34ZZ (esophageal vein), 06C44ZZ (hepatic vein), 06C54ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06CT0ZZ (open) and 06CT3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Vein Ligation and Stripping”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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