ICD-10-PCS Code For Subclavian Artery, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 03B3 includes procedures performed to excise portions of the right subclavian artery in the upper arterial system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a segment of the right subclavian artery is surgically removed without replacement to treat disease or injury. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 03B3 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Subclavian Artery, Right Excision Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes excision of a portion of the right subclavian artery, targeting the upper arterial system. Procedures involve cutting out or off part of the right subclavian artery without replacement to remove diseased or damaged arterial tissue. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operation and anatomical site treated, which affects case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents to the emergency department with sudden right-sided upper chest and arm ischemia, pulselessness, and severe pain after blunt neck trauma. Imaging demonstrates a localized segmental tear of the right subclavian artery with devitalized arterial tissue not amenable to repair; surgical excision of the damaged arterial segment without replacement is performed via an open approach to control hemorrhage and restore limb perfusion through subsequent revascularization procedures. The procedure documented in the operative report is an open excision of the right subclavian artery performed urgently. Typical codes: 03B30ZZ
A middle-aged patient with atherosclerotic disease and a symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the right subclavian artery is admitted electively for definitive management. Preoperative planning shows a discrete diseased arterial segment suitable for removal without immediate graft placement, and the surgeon performs an excision of the affected portion using a percutaneous endoscopic technique to minimize surgical morbidity. The goal is to remove the diseased arterial tissue causing symptoms while avoiding open thoracic dissection. Typical codes: 03B34ZZ
A patient with prior endovascular intervention to the right subclavian artery develops chronic infection and persistent arterial wall necrosis at the treated segment, necessitating removal of the infected arterial tissue. During a percutaneous approach procedure, the operator excises the diseased segment without placing a replacement device because infection precludes immediate grafting. The inpatient encounter documents excision of the right subclavian artery via a percutaneous approach for infection control. Typical codes: 03B33ZZ
