About 07PLX3Z

07PLX3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cisterna chyli using an external approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from trunk, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.87).

For a different body part, codes include 07PKX3Z (thoracic duct), 07PMX3Z (thymus), 07PNX3Z (lymphatic) and 07PPX3Z (spleen).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07PL03Z (open), 07PL33Z (percutaneous) and 07PL43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 07PLX0Z (drainage device) and 07PLXDZ (intraluminal device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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