About 06LY8ZZ

06LY8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the lower vein using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06LY0ZZ (open), 06LY3ZZ (percutaneous), 06LY4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 06LY7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 06LY8CZ (extraluminal device) and 06LY8DZ (intraluminal device).
