About 06R34KZ

06R34KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the esophageal vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to resection of vessel with replacement, other vessels of head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.42).

For a different body part, codes include 06R04KZ (inferior vena cava), 06R14KZ (splenic vein), 06R24KZ (gastric vein), 06R44KZ (hepatic vein), 06R54KZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06R64KZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06R30KZ (open).

With a different device, use 06R347Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 06R34JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures” and “Other Vascular Procedures”.

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