About 06L50DZ

06L50DZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the superior mesenteric vein using an open approach with intraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, abdominal veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.87).

For a different body part, codes include 06L00DZ (inferior vena cava), 06L10DZ (splenic vein), 06L20DZ (gastric vein), 06L30DZ (esophageal vein), 06L40DZ (hepatic vein), 06L60DZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06L53DZ (percutaneous) and 06L54DZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06L50CZ (extraluminal device) and 06L50ZZ (no device).

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), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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