About 0GND4ZZ
0GND4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the aortic body using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on carotid body, carotid sinus and other vascular bodies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.89).
For a different body part, codes include 0GN04ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GN14ZZ (pineal body), 0GN24ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GN34ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GN44ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GN64ZZ (left carotid body) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GND0ZZ (open) and 0GND3ZZ (percutaneous).
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.
