About 0GT94ZZ

0GT94ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the para-aortic body using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on carotid body, carotid sinus and other vascular bodies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0GT04ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GT14ZZ (pineal body), 0GT24ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GT34ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GT44ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GT64ZZ (left carotid body) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GT90ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
