Percutaneous embolization of right uterine artery, using coils (to occlude the artery). (Use Index to find the correct body part by looking up uterine artery.)
The embolization codes include all radiologic guidance, roadmapping, and completion angiography. However, truly diagnostic angiography can be coded separately. Selective catheterization of the vessel for embolization is coded separately.
Embolization of portal vein to increase the size of the remaining left lobe of liver (prior to resection of the right lobe of the liver for liver cancer) • Embolization for uterine fibroids
For practical purposes, the number of times an embolization can be coded for the same patient during the same encounter is limited to two. The embolization codes include all radiologic guidance, roadmapping, and completion angiography. However, truly diagnostic angiography can be coded separately.
Embolism and thrombosis of other arteries The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I74. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I74.
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.
DilationDilation: This root operation is most commonly used for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The stent placement for these procedures is identified by the device character.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
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.
Excision-Root Operation B Excision is used when a sharp instrument is used to cut out or off a portion of a body part without replacement.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked or stenosed coronary arteries allowing unobstructed blood flow to the myocardium.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent) is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter (a thin flexible tube) to place a small structure called a stent to open up blood vessels in the heart that have been narrowed by plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis.

ICD10Data.com is a free reference website designed for the fast lookup of all current American ICD-10-CM (diagnosis) and ICD-10-PCS (procedure) medical billing codes.
When most people talk about ICD-10, they are referring to ICD-10CM. This is the code set for diagnosis coding and is used for all healthcare settings in the United States. ICD-10PCS, on the other hand, is used in hospital inpatient settings for inpatient procedure coding.
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.
If PCS contains a specific body part for anatomical subdivision of a body part “resection” would be used when all of the body part is cut out or off. (Lobectomy of RUL would be coded as a resection if all the RUL is removed even though the entire right lung was not removed).
The onus is on the coder to determine what the physician performed based on the documentation in the record. Physicians are using restriction/occlusion and other procedure titles when performing procedures making it ...
