About 06L50CZ

06L50CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the superior mesenteric vein using an open approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06L53CZ (percutaneous) and 06L54CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06L50DZ (intraluminal device) and 06L50ZZ (no device).
