About the X2C Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code X2C) refers to the removal of unwanted matter from a body part. It is classified under the New Technology section and is specifically used for procedures targeting the Cardiovascular System.
This operation involves eliminating obstructions such as clots or emboli through innovative methods, primarily using Computer-aided Mechanical Aspiration. The included codes showcase the extirpation of matter from various vascular locations via a Percutaneous Approach, meaning minimally invasive entry through the skin. Examples include removal from the Abdominal Aorta (X2CP3T7), Right and Left Upper Extremity Veins (X2CQ3T7, X2CR3T7), and Lower Extremity Arteries and Veins (X2CS3T7 through X2CV3T7). Additionally, extirpation from major vessels like the Great Vessel is coded as X2CY3T7. These precise codes enable accurate documentation of specialized cardiac and vascular therapies using advanced mechanical aspiration technology.
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code X2C) refers to the surgical removal of solid matter from a body part, often used to clear blockages or obstructions. This operation is classified under the New Technology section, specifically focusing on the Cardiovascular System.
In this context, the Extirpation procedure involves techniques such as computer-aided mechanical aspiration performed through a percutaneous approach. Examples of specific ICD-10-PCS codes include removal of matter from major vessels like the Abdominal Aorta (X2CP3T7), or from various veins and arteries in the upper and lower extremities, such as the Right Upper Extremity Vein (X2CQ3T7) and the Left Lower Extremity Artery (X2CT3T7). This coding allows detailed documentation of advanced interventions used to restore vascular patency and improve circulation using minimally invasive techniques.
