ICD-10-PCS 03N Medical and Surgical: Upper Arteries Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (03N) refers to freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or other means. Within the Medical and Surgical section, the focus is on the Upper Arteries, where this procedure alleviates restrictions that impair arterial function.

This release operation can be performed on various arteries such as the Right and Left Internal Mammary Arteries, Innominate Artery, and Subclavian Arteries. Approaches vary from traditional Open Approach (e.g., code 03N00ZZ) to less invasive methods like Percutaneous (03N03ZZ) or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approaches (03N04ZZ). Other examples include releasing arteries in the upper limb like the Brachial, Radial, and Ulnar Arteries as well as intracranial and carotid arteries. These artery release procedures help restore proper blood flow by removing restrictive tissue or adhesions. Accurate coding using these ICD-10-PCS release codes ensures thorough clinical documentation of the specific artery involved and the technique used for the procedure.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 03N - Release (freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force). There are a total of 91 procedure codes in this section.
