ICD-10-PCS 045 Medical and Surgical: Lower Arteries Destruction
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (Code range starting with 045) refers to the intentional elimination of all or part of a body part through methods such as laser, electric current, or other energy sources. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and targets arteries in the lower body.
This operation is used to treat conditions by destroying tissue without removing it. The example codes cover a wide range of lower arteries including the abdominal aorta (04500ZZ, open approach), celiac artery (04510ZZ), hepatic artery (04530ZZ), and multiple iliac and femoral arteries, among others. Each code specifies the approach used—such as open, percutaneous, or percutaneous endoscopic approaches—which helps document the precise method employed for arterial destruction. Accurate assignment of these codes is essential for detailed procedural reporting and facilitates proper clinical and billing documentation of vascular destruction procedures in lower arteries.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 045 - Destruction (physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent). There are a total of 94 procedure codes in this section.
