BV181ZZFluoroscopy of Vasa Vasorum using Low Osmolar Contrast

BV181ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the vasa vasorum using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to contrast vasogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.94).

For a different body part, codes include BV101ZZ (corpora cavernosa).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV180ZZ (high osmolar), BV18YZZ (other contrast) and BV18ZZZ (none).

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.
