In ICD-10-PCS, ligation is coded to the root operation occlusion. Therefore, if we use table ā06Lā for occlusion of lower veins, there is the appropriate body part and a device value for the bands (extraluminal device); however, there is no approach value for via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.
2018/2019 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 06L34CZ. 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.

Esophageal varices with bleeding I85. 01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I85. 01 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Variceal banding stops blood from leaking from your varices, which significantly lowers the risk of serious health problems. This type of procedure involves the use of endoscopy to place bands around the affected veins. These bands cut off blood flow to these veins, which stops bleeding from occurring.
The CPT code 43244 is associated with esophageal variceal band ligation.

What do I need to know about esophageal banding? Esophageal banding is a procedure used to treat varices in your esophagus. It may also be called ligation.
Banding is the use of elastic bands to apply pressure and constrict, or tie off, parts of the body such as esophageal varices which can lead to bleeding. Esophageal varices are abnormal, enlarged veins in the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach.
Banding is a medical procedure which uses elastic bands for constriction. Banding may be used to tie off blood vessels in order to stop bleeding, as in the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices.
CPT codes such as 43247 (Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic removal of foreign body(s)) shall not be reported for non-endoscopic removal of previously placed therapeutic devices.
To report a diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy, 43235 should be reported, or one of the three diagnostic esophagoscopy codes as appropriate.

Esophageal varices are enlarged veins of the esophagus, which can spontaneously rupture and cause severe bleeding. Endoscopic banding of these esophageal varices involves completely occluding the blood flow and meets the root definition of the operation occlusion. The lumen of the esophageal vein is being banded, not the esophagus.
The index under ligation states, see occlusion. And this is actually a good time to point out that the index in the PCS classification is really an exquisite document. It does a lot of translation of things as you see here. Turning ligation, if you don't know the root operation, sending you to see occlusion.
And the fact of the matter is that oddly enough, if you look it up, the esophageal vein originates below the diaphragm. Hence, making it technically a lower vein.
