About 06U50KZ

06U50KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the superior mesenteric vein using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of blood vessel with unspecified type of patch graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.58).

For a different body part, codes include 06U00KZ (inferior vena cava), 06U10KZ (splenic vein), 06U20KZ (gastric vein), 06U30KZ (esophageal vein), 06U40KZ (hepatic vein), 06U60KZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06U53KZ (percutaneous) and 06U54KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06U507Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 06U50JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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 category “Other Vascular Procedures”.

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