About 065V0ZZ

065V0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left foot vein using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of vessels, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.69).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 065V3ZZ (percutaneous) and 065V4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R.
