About 05D93ZZ

05D93ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the right brachial vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to ligation and stripping of varicose veins, upper limb vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.53).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05D90ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), under the surgical category “Vein Ligation and Stripping”.
