The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 50 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 03CH0ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Right Common Carotid Artery, Open Approach), 03CJ0ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Left Common Carotid Artery, Open Approach) and 03CK0ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Right Internal Carotid Artery, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
