ICD-10-PCS 03F Medical and Surgical: Upper Arteries Fragmentation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fragmentation (code 03F) refers to breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces. This operation is commonly applied within the Medical and Surgical section, focusing specifically on the Upper Arteries.
This procedure is utilized to remove or disrupt intravascular obstructions, such as clots, by fragmenting them to restore blood flow. The provided codes demonstrate the fragmentation of various upper arteries through a Percutaneous Approach, which means the treatment is performed through the skin using minimally invasive techniques. For example, codes like 03F23Z0 and 03F23ZZ specify fragmentation of the Innominate Artery with or without ultrasonic guidance. Similar approaches apply to arteries such as the Right Subclavian (03F33ZZ), Left Axillary (03F63Z0), and the Intracranial Artery (03FG3Z0). Accurate coding of these fragmentation procedures supports precise documentation of vascular interventions aimed at treating arterial blockages.
