It is found in the 2022 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2021 - Sep 30, 2022 .

Occlusion of Esophageal Vein with Extraluminal Device, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach. ICD-10-PCS 06L34CZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Endoscopic variceal ligation, or endoscopic band ligation, is a procedure that uses elastic bands to treat enlarged veins, or varices, in your esophagus. These abnormal veins develop in the esophagus and have thin walls with high blood pressure running through them.

Using an endoscope, the doctor uses suction to pull the varices into a chamber at the end of the scope and wraps them with an elastic band, which essentially "strangles" the veins so they can't bleed. Endoscopic band ligation carries a small risk of complications, such as bleeding and scarring of the esophagus.
Grade I: Microcapillaries located in distal oesophagus or oesophago-gastric junction. Grade II: One or two small varices located in the distal oesophagus. Grade III: Medium-sized varices of any number. Grade IV: Large-sized varices in any part of oesophagus.
Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was developed in an effort to find an effective endoscopic treatment for esophageal varices with fewer complications than endoscopic sclerotherapy (ie, endoscopic injection of a sclerosant solution into the varices) [1,2].
Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the esophagus. They're often due to obstructed blood flow through the portal vein, which carries blood from the intestine, pancreas and spleen to the liver. Esophageal varices are abnormal, enlarged veins in the tube that connects the throat and stomach (esophagus).
