ICD-10-PCS 03P Medical and Surgical: Upper Arteries Removal

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Removal (code 03P) refers to taking out a device or material from a body part. Specifically, this classification for the Medical and Surgical section focuses on the Upper Arteries.

This root operation encompasses the extraction of various devices, such as drainage devices, monitoring devices, infusion devices, and different types of tissue substitutes—both synthetic and nonautologous—from the upper arteries. The procedure may also involve removing stimulator leads or other medical devices that have been implanted. The codes demonstrate that Removal can be performed through several approaches, including Open, Percutaneous, Percutaneous Endoscopic, and External approaches, providing flexibility in how the operation is carried out depending on the clinical situation. For example, code 03PY00Z indicates removal of a drainage device via an open approach, while 03PY30Z describes removal of the same device percutaneously.

Using these detailed upper artery removal codes allows precise documentation of the type of device removed and the approach utilized, which is essential for accurate procedural coding and patient care records.
