For example, if a procedure to insert a coronary stent during percutaneous coronary angioplasty is performed, the root operation is Dilation and the intraluminal device is captured in the sixth character.

0DH63UZICD-10-PCS 0DH63UZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 43.11 Percutaneous [endoscopic] gastrostomy [PEG]
Embolization of a cerebral aneurysm is coded to the root operation Restriction, because the objective of the procedure is not to close off the vessel entirely, but to narrow the lumen of the vessel at the site of the aneurysm where it is abnormally wide.
Code 31600 Tracheostomy, planned (separate procedure) describes a planned tracheostomy; however, if the patient is under 2 years of age, 31601 should be used. Code 31600 is reported for “percutaneous” tracheostomy as well. This procedure can be performed with or without a bronchoscope.
In ICD-10-PCS the root operation for this procedure is Change and the objective of this procedure is to exchange a similar device (tracheostomy tube) without making a new incision or puncture. The Index main term entry is Change device in, Trachea, which directs the coding professional to Table 0B2.

Summary. 43246 is probably the most appropriate code if you are looking for a true percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG) tube.
A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations.
If the objective of an embolization procedure is to completely close a vessel, the root operation Occlusion is coded. If the objective of an embolization procedure is to narrow the lumen of a vessel, the root operation Restriction is coded.
Particle Embolization. The Contour PVA Embolization particles are small and irregular flakes of polyvinyl alcohol, which are used for permanent occlusion within a blood vessel.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
