About 06L34ZZ

06L34ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the esophageal vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of esophagus and ligation of esophageal varices, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (42.33 and 42.91).

For a different body part, codes include 06L04ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06L14ZZ (splenic vein), 06L24ZZ (gastric vein), 06L44ZZ (hepatic vein), 06L54ZZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06L64ZZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06L30ZZ (open), 06L33ZZ (percutaneous), 06L37ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 06L38ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06L34CZ (extraluminal device) and 06L34DZ (intraluminal device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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