About the 03B Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Excision (03B) involves the surgical removal of a portion of a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation is applied to the Upper Arteries, targeting segments of arteries rather than entire vessels.

This operation can be performed via various approaches such as Open, Percutaneous, or Percutaneous Endoscopic. Examples include excision of the Right Internal Mammary Artery using an open approach (03B00ZZ), or the Left Axillary Artery through a percutaneous endoscopic approach (03B64ZZ). Diagnostic versions of these procedures, which involve removal for examination or biopsy, are identified by the addition of the diagnostic qualifier (e.g., 03B00ZX). Other arteries coded under this root operation include the Innominate Artery, Common Carotid Artery, Radial Artery, and Vertebral Artery, reflecting the detailed specificity of ICD-10-PCS excision codes for arterial surgeries.
