About 06WY0YZ

06WY0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the lower vein using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of vessel, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.09).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06WY3YZ (percutaneous) and 06WY4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06WY00Z (drainage device), 06WY02Z (monitoring device), 06WY03Z (infusion device), 06WY07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 06WY0CZ (extraluminal device), 06WY0DZ (intraluminal device) and 2 more.

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.
