About 07PL40Z

07PL40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cisterna chyli using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07PL00Z (open), 07PL30Z (percutaneous) and 07PLX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 07PL43Z (infusion device), 07PL47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 07PL4CZ (extraluminal device), 07PL4DZ (intraluminal device), 07PL4JZ (synthetic substitute), 07PL4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 1 more.
