ICD-10-PCS 071 Medical and Surgical: Lymphatic and Hemic Systems Bypass

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Bypass (code 071) in the Medical and Surgical section involves creating a new route for lymphatic fluid by rerouting the lymphatic system to another vessel. This procedure is used when normal lymphatic drainage is blocked or impaired.

Specifically within the lymphatic and hemic systems, bypass procedures connect lymphatic vessels from various body regions—such as the head, neck, upper and lower extremities, thorax, axillary, inguinal, and central lymphatic structures like the thoracic duct and cisterna chyli—to other lymphatic vessels or to veins (peripheral or central). These connections may be performed via an open or percutaneous endoscopic approach, as demonstrated by codes like 07100Z3 for bypassing head lymphatic to peripheral vein (open approach) or 07174Z4 for thorax lymphatic to central vein (percutaneous endoscopic approach).

Medical coders should note the precise location of both the origin and destination vessels, alongside the approach used, for accurate documentation of ICD-10-PCS bypass codes within the lymphatic and hemic systems.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 071 - Bypass (altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part). There are a total of 191 procedure codes in this section.
