About 06L23ZZ

06L23ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the gastric vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, abdominal veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.87).

For a different body part, codes include 06L03ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06L13ZZ (splenic vein), 06L33ZZ (esophageal vein), 06L43ZZ (hepatic vein), 06L53ZZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06L63ZZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06L20ZZ (open), 06L24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 06L27ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 06L28ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06L23CZ (extraluminal device) and 06L23DZ (intraluminal device).
