About the 04C Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code 04C) involves the removal of matter from a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically targets the removal of obstructive or unwanted material from the Lower Arteries.

This procedure is used to clear blockages such as clots or emboli from arteries like the Abdominal Aorta and various branch arteries including the Celiac, Gastric, Hepatic, Splenic, and Renal Arteries. It can be performed through different approaches, such as an Open Approach (e.g., code 04C00ZZ for abdominal aorta) or less invasive methods like Percutaneous and Percutaneous Endoscopic Approaches (e.g., codes 04C03ZZ and 04C04ZZ respectively). These coding options allow precise documentation based on the artery involved and the technique used. Accurate application of these ICD-10-PCS Extirpation codes for lower arteries is essential for capturing the clinical details of procedures removing intraluminal matter to restore blood flow.
