About 03QY4ZZ

03QY4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the upper artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.31).

For a different body part, codes include 03Q04ZZ (right internal mammary artery), 03Q14ZZ (left internal mammary artery), 03Q24ZZ (innominate artery), 03Q34ZZ (right subclavian artery), 03Q44ZZ (left subclavian artery), 03Q54ZZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03QY0ZZ (open) and 03QY3ZZ (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), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures” and 4 more.

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